Adam Carr is a Milwaukee alchemist. He is an evangelist for his home and an urban explorer who uses storytelling, city walking tours, radio productions, film, journalism, and art to build connections between people and place. Hosts Jen Rubin and Jessica Becker invited former Human Powered co-host into a friendly conversation that got deep, fast. Join us for a discussion about the mystery and magic of doing the good work of the public humanities. We talk about starting collective experiences through the mouth, the superpowers of a city, and how to uplift the work of alchemists who make communities thrive in 2025. This is a conversation you don’t want to miss.
