Episode Details

Philly is known as the mural capital of the world. But murals are just one form of public art – and our city is teeming with many more. Through his blog Streets Dept, lifelong Philadelphian Conrad Benner has made it his mission to help denizens notice the art all around them – from wheatpaste posters to stickers slapped on the back of PPA signs to graffiti art and more. Now, Conrad is re-launching the Streets Dept podcast, talking with the artists, thinkers, lawmakers, and ordinary people who shape Philly’s culture. Host Trenae Nuri talks with Conrad about how he’s built a following documenting the everyday magic in Philly’s streets.
