Our Radio PodCasts Center

Voices of Philadelphia

  • During the summer 2009 program "Voice of Philadelphia," Tree House Books' students captured the voices that make up their surrounding community.
  • We spoke to lawyer and former community resident Sharif Street. We made these interviews into a digital podcast.

Several students had the opportunity to interview family members and friends. They were also given the opportunity to travel to a Center City law firm to interview Sharif Street, a former Diamond Street resident and Mayor Street's son. From the sounds captured, campers created their very own podcasts that share their understanding of the neighborhood.

At this preview presentation, Tree House students will also share their new, in-process podcast of local businessmen and their interview of local historian Donald Williams. Don is the owner of Don's Doo-Shop, and he has cut the hair of many of the famous musicians who performed years ago at the Uptown Theatre, just around the corner from his shop.
