Holy Local: Shae Corey on Religion, Oral History, and Public Memory in D.C.
Season 1 Episode 294
What can one church in Washington, D.C. reveal about American religious life, social justice, and the power of oral history? In this episode, I talk with public historian Shae Corey, the creator and producer of the podcast Holy Local, which grew out of an in-depth oral history project focused on the Church of the Saviour.
Shae shares what it takes to build a public history project from the ground up, the unexpected challenges of capturing living memory, and why stories of faith—especially local, community-based ones—matter deeply in understanding our present moment.
