We offer a robust regional news service supported by an award-winning newsroom, home to Billy Penn, PlanPhilly and the WHYY Climate Desk. We are deeply committed to the needs of young people.

We bring together people in the region for interesting and fun events in person and online. From critical community conversations to advanced screenings with big personalities, keep an eye on WHYY.org/events for things to do all year round.

As a kid, Martha Cooney was jealous that her brother delivered newspapers. A wagon for the Philadelphia Evening Bulletin reminded her of a job she had in her 20s. Martha had jumped at the chance to deliver phonebooks, thinking it would be similar to newspapers. Great, she thought, a valuable community job. How hard could it be? Listen to her story: https://lnkd.in/e-Q_u4Pi Philadelphia Revealed is an exhibition, a podcast, and a platform for anyone to add their story to Philly history. The exhibition runs July 18 - December 1 at Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts and features a large, interactive display of over 600 objects from the Atwater Kent Collection at Drexel University. Ten of these objects inspire the First Person Arts storytellers you’ll hear on the podcast, made by WHYY & Rowhome Productions. Visit the exhibition: https://lnkd.in/ekdQ_i6W

A turnstile from Philly’s storied Veterans Stadium in the Atwater Kent Collection at Drexel reminded Nick Kupsey of how his father’s first job out of college was working at The Vet. Nick has a deep understanding of what it means to be a sports fan in the City of Brotherly Love: the pain and glory, the joy and suffering, and the way all of our teams weave themselves into the fabric of the city. And for Nick, all of these feelings are an intimate part of his family story and what it means to be a Philadelphian.
