Reimagining Democracy for a Good Life

Angela Glover Blackwell, host of Radical Imagination, has a new podcast, Reimagining Democracy for a Good Life, that looks at U.S. cities for inspiration on how to build a radically inclusive democracy that serves all of us. 

Season 1 focused on Los Angeles. In this latest season, she turns to Atlanta, asking, "What can Atlanta teach us about democracy? What insights does it offer in terms of building a more perfect union? And what lessons from Atlanta’s past can help us through this present moment and lay a path for a vibrant democratic future?"
