Bushwick: Brooklyn's most dynamic neighborhood. Bushwick has an incredible history that dates back to the very beginning of Brooklyn, and has seen the neighborhood transform many times over. Today, it's grown into one of the most vibrant and diverse communities in the world. But for many in Bushwick, this growth comes on the back of transformative contradictions. The graffiti that sent Bushwick artists to jail less than 40 years ago is now the street art that draws visitors from around the world.

As thousands of new residents and dozens of new businesses move into the neighborhood, Bushwick has never had a more uncertain future. Bushwick Podcast is a new take on grassroots media and civic engagement. We partner with organizations throughout the neighborhood to celebrate Bushwick's culture and break down the most important issues facing the community today.

Our goal is make it as accessible, and fun, as possible for anyone to become an active member of their local community. For our listeners in Bushwick, we'll introduce you to the people, organizations, and forces working to reshape your neighborhood each day. ...Read More
