Areas of Agreement podcast
Journalist Elia Powers followed UR Action throughout season 1 of his acclaimed "Areas of Agreement" podcast on the urban/rural divide and our efforts to work across divides to tackle America's most urgent challenges.

Powers weaves together insightful interviews with Americans collaborating across divides with snippets of recordings from UR Action events to create expertly-produced episodes that entertain and inform.

The series is available anywhere you get your podcasts, including Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Anchor, Breaker, Pocket Casts, PRX Exchange, and Radio Public.
Tune into Episode 8 to hear from UR Action and Lead for America team members about the Jan 5 and 6, 2022 discussions with Americans on political violence as part of the National Day of Dialogue.
Tune into Episode 7 to hear from UR Action's Mid-Atlantic Regional Director Kira Hamman about the recent attention paid to rural America and why it can be difficult to engage people from these communities in initiatives that aim to bridge the urban/rural divide.
​
Tune into Episode 6 to learn about the importance of community colleges to their regional economies, despite not getting much attention, especially in rural areas. Learn how the U4A America economy team helped the Education Design Lab on a multi-year initiative to create pathways to postsecondary attainment and economic opportunity in rural communities.
Tune into Episode 5 to learn more about news deserts, and how people access news about Covid-19. Millions of Americans live in news deserts, where they lack credible and comprehensive information that helps residents make decisions about issues that matter to them. ​
Tune into Episode 4 to hear about efforts by a team in our Uniting for Action Across PA's Urban/Rural Divide to address funding disparities in K-12 schools in urban and rural communities in the Commonwealth.  ​
Tune into Episode 3 to learn more UR Action's approach to constructive dialogue. Dialogue alone can't solve structural challenges in our country, but structural challenges can't be solved without constructive dialogue.
Tune into Episode 2 to hear about our efforts to reduce food waste and food insecurity.
Tune into episode 1 to better understand causes of and possible solutions to the urban/rural divide. ​
