The Among Neighbors Podcast is a program that aims to have thoughtful conversations on issues of race, power, and privilege.

Initially started as a joint project between the YWCA Greater Pittsburgh and Point Park University’s Center for Media Innovation, the show explores conversations that Pittsburghers rarely have about issues that divide and unite us. 

Episodes, hosted by Barbara Johnson and Andrew Conte, have featured topics such as the origins of Black History Month, interracial friendships, media discrimination, and inclusive holiday celebrations.
