Last Wednesday, WHYY celebrated the end of fiscal year 2024 with its third annual Taco Palooza! Thanks to our food truck vendors, we enjoyed delicious tacos from Calle Del Sabor, pierogies from Mom-Mom's Kitchen and ice cream from Mister Softee. A huge shoutout to all of our talented staff who performed, and to our Pathways to Media Careers program students for taking photos!

Anjoli Santiago has always had a conflicted relationship with religion. Church made her feel like she belonged… until it didn’t. Now, she’s seeking a new spirituality that’s inspired by water. So she’s blown away by an image that seems to bring her two spiritualities together: a church, floating on the Delaware River. Hear her story on the Philadelphia Revealed podcast: https://lnkd.in/eJfVpPBR Philadelphia Revealed is an exhibition, a podcast, and a platform for anyone to add their story to Philly history. The exhibition runs July 18 – December 1 at Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts and features a large, interactive display of over 600 objects from the Atwater Kent Collection at Drexel University. Ten of these objects inspire the First Person Arts storytellers you’ll hear on the podcast.

Despite receiving record-level funding in recent years, SEPTA lags behind its peers in annual capital investments. While the transportation authority wants to modernize its fleet, it struggles with reduced ridership and its riders regularly have concerns about increased violent crimes and drug use onboard and at stations and stops. How does our region ensure safe, equitable and accessible public transportation for all, while keeping fares affordable and maintaining existing services? Join us for “Transforming Public Transit,” a Bridging Blocks community conversation from WHYY and Free Library of Philadelphia. Register here: https://bit.ly/4cWRFWy
