About Regionally Speaking
A series of programs moderated by Gladys Haddad, Professor of American Studies and Director of the Western Reserve Studies Symposium on “The Livable City” and Its Neighborhoods.” These conversational interviews engage community experts and leaders to discuss important issues for the City of Cleveland.
Beginning in May 2007 with "University Circle: A destination and a neighborhood," Regionally Speaking engaged civic leaders about this important center of excellence in Northeast Ohio. View the symposium archives to listen to past podcasts.
In 2008, Regionally Speaking began a specific focus on Neighborhood Progress, Inc. and its six Strategic Investment Initiative neighborhoods: Buckeye, Detroit-Shoreway, Fairfax, Glenville, Slavic Village and Tremont.
Now in it's third season, Regionally Speaking will explore the Greater University Circle Initiative, a program in partnership with the Cleveland Foundation that seeks economic inclusion and community wealth building in the neighborhoods surrounding University Circle.
Programs are announced in advance and listeners invited to join the conversation posting questions and comments. The programs produced at Case Western Reserve University are broadcast on its affiliated radio station WRUW-FM 91.1 and permanently archived in podcasts to allow accessibility.
