Around the Block is a community news program from the Block by Block team at WPPM-LP 106.5 FM. On this program we explore issues in the Philadelphia region with voices from the community – with reports from our team of community journalists and live in-studio interviews. 

This episode features reports from our community journalists about a mutual aid group providing free food to over 350 households in West Philly, a dinner party series that brings Philly creatives together, a new Yemeni-style coffee shop in West Philly, and a North Philly barber shop... on wheels.

Milan Parker and P.O.C. hosted this episode, and K. Michelle Watson was our board operator.
