      Sep 24 2024
      Welcome Dear Listeners… … Step into the heart of urban transformation with the Story City Podcast: Vibrant Spaces, where we uncover the stories and strategies behind revitalizing city spaces to create thriving, connected communities. Join co-hosts Emily Craven and Tim Souza as they take you on a journey through Baltimore, a city harnessing collaboration and innovation to reshape its downtown into a vibrant, inclusive hub. In this episode, we meet three exceptional women driving Baltimore’s transformation: Faith Leach, Shalonda Stokes, and Cassie Clemente. These dynamic leaders are spearheading the Downtown RISE initiative—a powerful, strategic action plan aimed at revitalizing Baltimore’s core through art, safety improvements, community collaboration, and long-term planning. Discover how this trio is rethinking urban spaces, not only focusing on immediate, tangible improvements like public art and infrastructure upgrades, but also building a ten-year vision for a walkable, accessible, and thriving downtown. Their collaboration brings together local government, nonprofit organizations, and private sectors, creating a model of collective impact that is transforming the city’s future. As they share their insights on radical community engagement and inclusive development, you’ll see how Baltimore’s approach, blending short-term wins with long-term vision, is reshaping both the physical and cultural landscape of the city. Whether you’re a city planner, a community advocate, or simply passionate about urban spaces, this episode offers a deep dive into how cities can evolve through intentional collaboration and innovative thinking. Plug in and learn how Baltimore is setting a powerful example of urban renewal, proving that when a city comes together, the possibilities are endless.

      ABOUT THE STORY:

      Brisbane’s a lot weirder than you think it is, and you thought you knew it all.

      You’re a Pomp, short for Psychopomp, which means you help souls into the afterlife. Well, you’re supposed to, see it’s your first day on the job. And the big lady herself is giving you your training! You’re in for an adventure when you realise that it’s not just about sending souls to the afterlife. You’ll face Stirrers, Undead Dinosaurs, and see the Underworld itself. And, whether you stick with the job or not, your idea of the city will never be the same again. Training Day is a spin off from Trent Jaimeson’s Death Works stories, of which there have been three novels so far, all of them set in Brisbane and published through Orbit Books.
