  • The Project WHY Podcast Trailer
    In honor of Project WHY’s 1-year anniversary… The Project WHY Podcast will launch on July 4 at 12:00 PM PST!
    Here, Arielle Zappia will bring on different professionals in the field to discuss pressing topics surrounding homelessness. Arielle created the podcast as a complement to the personal stories on Project WHY’s website, as understanding the ins and outs of homelessness from those working in the field is just as important as spreading awareness about homelessness through the stories of our unhoused neighbors!
    Episodes will be posted on the 4th of every month and will be 15-20+ minutes long - the perfect length for car rides to work or even to your local grocery store! Each episode will feature a different guest and surround a specific topic within homelessness.
    The Project WHY Podcast will be available on all listening platforms! These include Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, Google Podcasts, and more!
    Arielle has been working on this podcast since December 2022 and is so beyond excited to finally share it with all of you! Get ready to listen on July 4 🎉
