Knowing Our Place episodes
- Synecdoche
“Being American is more than a pride we inherit. It’s the past we step into and how we repair it.”
Knowing Our Place is a podcast by Arthur Mullen, exploring two Americas, and the person sitting in darkness trying to understand them. Through history, philosophy, and lived experience, each episode traces how parts come to stand for wholes: moments, phrases, and decisions that echo across time.
This is a guided journey through American history, sometimes surprising, sometimes painful, always human, seeking to reckon honestly with both the nation’s virtues and its failures. Because to know who we are, we must understand who we’ve been.

About Knowing Our Place
From the publisher's feed
Knowing Our Place is a series of reflections by Arthur Mullen, exploring the layered history of New Haven, through architecture, adaptive reuse, civic memory, and the meaning embedded in…
physical places. Moving through forgotten buildings, public spaces, landscapes, and historical moments, the series uses the story of one city to ask larger questions about identity, democracy, community, and what it means to belong somewhere. Through history, preservation, and observation, we examine how the places we inherit continue shaping the people we become.
