Sacramento, CA: All Hands on Deck | There’s been a lot of bad news coming out of Sacramento lately: homelessness, the foreclosure rate, unemployment, political gridlock in a state crippled by the recession. Add to that a stubborn case of politics fatigue, and you’ve got a lot of reasons to write off this city. But we trekked to California’s beleaguered state capital to peek behind the national headlines and find out who keeps this city running—day in, day out—despite all that’s going wrong. And we left with the realization that people in Sacramento are remaking the American city, in surprising and deeply moving ways. State of the Re:Union wants to hear from you! Use the comment section below to let us know what you think about our latest episode, All Hands on Deck.

Cleveland, OH: Entrepreneurs at Work | Source: GandZ from Wikimedia Commons Cleveland, Ohio is a city that was made by entrepreneurs, but for decades, it’s been known as a city that’s a shell of its former manufacturing-era glorious self. However, Cleveland is being embraced by a new generation of entrepreneurs as a place to put their dreams in motion. This is a now a city of entrepreneurship in a range of incarnations… in their kids’ education, in the environment, even in beer. This is an hour of entrepreneurial stories, taking a look at that go-get-em-seize-your-dreams energy in a variety of forms. State of the Re:Union wants to hear from you!

Wyoming: The New Old West | Source: Wusel007 from Wikimedia Commons People are few and far between in Wyoming. Those that do live here prize tradition, self-reliance, and their connection to the land. So when change comes to the high plains—an oil boom, a minister with new ideas—communities here are tested. And neighbors have to strike a balance between preserving their independent way of life, and learning to rely on one another. We trek to the small towns and remote ranches of Wyoming, meeting people as they adapt to the New Old West. Tell us what you think about our Wyoming episode, The New Old West.

The Bronx, NY: Still Rising from the Ashes | The Bronx has long been seen as a symbol of America’s failings. For many people here, ‘making it’ means escaping the crime and poverty of their borough. But some have refused to flee. This episode shines a light on the hold-outs and the dreamers, people who’ve committed their lives to keeping chaos at bay in the Bronx.

Mississippi Gulf Coast: Defending the Gulf | After Hurricane Katrina ravaged the area, Mississippi Gulf Coast residents were forced to come together to deal with the aftermath. Then, just as they were starting to get back on their feet, the BP Deepwater Horizon disaster dumped millions of barrels of oil into the water just off their shores. Cumulatively, these events have made environmentalists out of a whole lot of Gulf Coast residents who may not have considered themselves as such… We tell an hour of stories about the fight for the natural world Gulf Coast bringing residents together, both with one another and with unlikely partners—and how, in some instances, that fight is turning out to be exactly what a community needed to survive.

Coming Up From Underground – Life Under the Casinos | Entrance to tunnel, Las Vegas, NV When you’ve spent several years living underground, or out in the stark quiet of the desert, what it’s like to find yourself back in an apartment with cable TV and a fridge stocked with food? In State of the Re:Union’s Las Vegas episode, we explored the world beneath the casinos: a network of flood channels running under the city that have become home to a community of people. Transition back to “normal” life after living in the tunnels is no easy experience. But, as State of the Re:Union’s Senior Producer Tina Antolini shows us, they’re getting some outside help… wpa_urls.push('\u0068\u0074\u0074\u0070\u003a\u002f\u002f\u0073\u0074\u0061\u0074\u0065\u006f\u0066\u0074\u0068\u0065\u0072\u0065\u0075\u006e\u0069\u006f\u006e\u002e\u0063\u006f\u006d\u002f\u0077\u0070\u002d\u0063\u006f\u006e\u0074\u0065\u006e\u0074\u002f\u0070\u006f\u0064\u0063\u0061\u0073\u0074\u0073\u002f\u0077\u0065\u0062\u002d\u0066\u0065\u0061\u0074\u0075\u0072\u0065\u005f\u0035\u002d\u0031\u0038\u002e\u006d\u0070\u0033');Las Vegas - Coming up from Underground SOTRU Producer Tina Antolini interviews former desert-and-tunnel-dweller Tom Ortega, Las Vegas, NV Tom Ortega shows off his now well-stocked fridge, Las Vegas, NV | 5/23/11 | Free | View In iTunes |

Oakland: The Self-Made City | Refugees, entrepreneurs, visionaries—these are the historic roots of Oakland, California. The city has long been home for people building new lives and imagining even better ones. But dreams deferred also haunt this place, in its empty post-boom skyscrapers, its infamous homicide rates and deep budget cuts. In the face of entrenched problems, though, the people of Oakland characteristically answer back with diverse, revolutionary solutions.

Las Vegas – Bright Lights, Big City, Small Town | These days, two versions of Las Vegas occupy the public imagination. One is of Sin City, home to The Strip, to glitter and entertainment. The other is as a dramatic victim of the recent economic recession, a city where whole neighborhoods have been foreclosed upon, where the jobless rate shot up to double digits, where massive casino and hotel constructions were suspended, leaving hulking ghosts to remind residents of the boom times.

Miami: Bridging the Divide | Famous for its beaches and clubs, Miami is also the 3rd poorest city in the nation. If you own a store in South Beach, your customers are equally likely to be billionaires or homeless people . . . and likely to have started life somewhere else. Although Miami is an incredibly international city—instead of working towards assimilation and blending with one another, ethnic communities exist as a patchwork, remaining like isolated microcosms of their homeland.

Utica: City with a Warm Heart | A couple of decades ago, Utica, New York, was dying, by even its residents diagnosis: a popular bumper sticker in the ‘90s read “Last One Out of Utica, Please Turn Out the Lights.” Once a bustling textile city perched on edge of the Erie Canal, Utica lost its mills in the mid-20th century, and has been losing population ever since. But something has changed in recent years, with a surprising influx of refugees to this part of snowy, cold upstate New York—the newcomers have given Utica hope for second chance.

Birmingham: Long Story Short | Birmingham is a place that can’t escape its history—especially the painful parts. Almost fifty years later after the tragedies and triumphs of the civil rights era, Birmingham is still a community trying to put itself back together. Some have started trying to unearth the city’s past and face it. To do that, people are looking beyond the civil rights era: from slavery to vaudeville, and from Birmingham as a steel town to its post-industrial future.

Let’s Hear It for Record Store Day! | Music lovers across the globe all have stories of that first record store that ushered in their individual Age of Enlightenment. Chances are, those little shops of our youth are long gone, particularly now that digital technology offers customers the chance to shop from home with a click. But there are still die-hard fans out there who not only continue to go out into the world seeking used vinyl and new and used CDs, these folks are also fostering a young brood of new music lovers; buyers who are still willing to embrace new technology but also looking for both the tangible and more intrinsic benefits of vinyl. wpa_urls.push('\u0068\u0074\u0074\u0070\u003a\u002f\u002f\u0073\u0074\u0061\u0074\u0065\u006f\u0066\u0074\u0068\u0065\u0072\u0065\u0075\u006e\u0069\u006f\u006e\u002e\u0063\u006f\u006d\u002f\u0077\u0070\u002d\u0063\u006f\u006e\u0074\u0065\u006e\u0074\u002f\u0075\u0070\u006c\u006f\u0061\u0064\u0073\u002f\u0032\u0030\u0031\u0030\u002f\u0030\u0034\u002f\u0044\u0065\u0068\u0069\u0073\u0073\u002d\u0052\u0065\u0063\u006f\u0072\u0064\u002d\u0073\u0074\u006f\u0072\u0065\u002d\u0064\u0061\u0079\u005f\u006d\u0069\u0078\u0064\u006f\u0077\u006e\u002e\u006d\u0070\u0033');Ringing in Record Store Day More and more artists are answering the call by issuing new recordings in said-format, often in spectacular colors (and more and more with a digital download code included as a free bonus). Still, independent record stores throughout the country are struggling. On the third Saturday of April, Record Store Day is celebrated throughout the world, where your favorite independent gets the chance to dream up all sorts of shenanigans to help celebrate the cornerstone of a music lover’s community. In honor of this year’s Record Store Day (April 17th) producer Katie Ball wandered around her three favorite haunts in Orlando, Florida: East-West Music Records, Rock & Roll Heaven and Park Ave CDs. Take a look at these great record stores for yourself! Be sure to check out the new Sounds of the Re:Union feature, For the Record, where we chronicle independent gems from across the country.

Appalachia Rising | Rural Appalachia has long been portrayed in the media as a place of victims: people at the mercy of the region’s poverty or bigotry. In this episode, SOTRU turns that notion of Appalachia on its head, telling stories of residents fighting for the well-being of their land, people and culture. We travel to southern West Virginia, where former coal miners and their families are fighting mountain-top removal mining and a small town is reinventing itself.

Austin, TX: Growing Pains | Unlike places that have been thrown into a state of crisis by a disaster, Austin, Texas, has been thrown into crisis by success. Its population has skyrocketed, but along with the economic advantages has come a considerable identity crisis. Austin has long prided itself on its funkiness, and many residents have grown worried new development and growth might jeopardize the city’s countercultural “feel.” In this hour, SOTRU looks at the tension between “keeping Austin weird” and its growing success.

Plan It! | We’ve released our Los Angeles episode, so I wanted to share with you the work of one forward-thinking Angeleno, James Rojas. James, like so many others around the country are re-thinking blocks, neighborhoods, and cities. In James’ words, “Nobody should own planning. Nobody should own redevelopment. It should be a public, inclusive project that everyone should be a part of.” wpa_urls.push('\u0068\u0074\u0074\u0070\u003a\u002f\u002f\u0073\u006f\u0074\u0072\u0075\u0070\u006f\u0064\u0063\u0061\u0073\u0074\u0073\u002e\u0063\u0072\u0065\u0061\u0074\u0069\u0076\u0065\u0065\u006d\u0070\u0069\u0072\u0065\u006c\u006c\u002e\u006e\u0065\u0074\u0064\u006e\u0061\u002d\u0063\u0064\u006e\u002e\u0063\u006f\u006d\u002f\u0050\u006c\u0061\u006e\u0049\u0074\u0050\u006f\u0064\u0063\u0061\u0073\u0074\u002e\u006d\u0070\u0033');Plan It Podcast With that said, we’re very interested in hearing your stories of how you or your neighbors have “taken back planning,” or have begun to think about what your neighborhood isn’t, but can be.

Customer Reviews
Wow - Such an Engaging Show
I listened to the NOLA show last Sunday on NPR in Washington, DC. Excellent stuff! Keep up the great work.
Good stuff
Just heard the host on the Moth, that's how I found about this great show. I hope there is more episodes soon. My favorite so far is the Brooklyn show and the Des Moines show. Midwest represent!
Modern On the Road (I'd imagine)
Realize sounds like im a shil for the show, but if u listen I'm preeettty positive youll agree that SOTRU is a kick@ss, uplifting, heartwarming & heart breaking, always enthralling tour of American cities. Through nicely produced interviews with local change-makers, SOTRU elicits the cities' histories that led to the current state of affairs and the actions those community members are taking to improve their neighborhoods. Restores my faith in humanity in the span of my commute (while keeping me thoroughly entertained--poetic cowboys, water-ballooning monks, pedicures for the homeless). THANKS GUYS!! I'm super into this!
