[The podcast] started off as a way to connect with the resident artists in the area - the authors because we knew that this site had so much to offer... A lot of these authors and artists actually come into the library. They're checking out books, they're saying 'hi,' they're a part of our programs.
The podcast has hosted local authors, illustrators, and business owners like Lauren Wilkinson, author of 'American Spy' and illustrator Jnéyé Williams, who created BPL's Black American library card in 2021.
You learn that the neighborhood is never any one story. You know, people can tell stories that seem opposed, or, strange, but it's all part of the story of Bed Stuy. The story of Brooklyn, the story of New York.
