  1. Ep. 6: The Legacy of Harriet Tubman

    Ep. 6: The Legacy of Harriet Tubman

    Harriet Tubman's story is often told through her extraordinary courage, but her deep connection to Maryland's landscapes is just as essential to understanding her legacy. In this episode, Angie Crenshaw, Director of the Maryland Park Service, explores how Tubman's early life on Maryland's Eastern Shore shaped the skills, resilience, and determination that enabled her to escape slavery and repeatedly return to lead others to freedom. Together, we discuss why place matters in preserving history, how Tubman's faith and unwavering sense of purpose guided her life's work, and how her legacy has evolved over generations. The conversation also highlights Maryland's ongoing efforts to preserve and interpret African American history through parks, historic sites, and new public resources, ensuring that Tubman's story—and the broader story of freedom, resilience, and self-determination—continues to inspire future generations.

    Maryland's Agricultural Heritage with Secretary Kevin Atticks

    Join us as we sit down with Maryland Secretary of Agriculture Kevin Atticks to explore the connection between Maryland’s agricultural heritage and its thriving craft beverage industry. From the state’s early history of grain production and distilling to today’s farm breweries, wineries, distilleries, and cideries, we discuss how agriculture continues to shape Maryland’s economy, rural communities, and cultural identity. As the nation prepare to commemorate the 250th anniversary of American independence, we also look at how these traditions connect the past to the future and what lies ahead for agriculture and craft beverage production. This episode is part of our "Spirted History" project supported by the Maryland Department of Commerce’s Maryland Alcohol Manufacturing Promotion Fund. Spirited History reflects our ongoing commitment to preserving not only historic places, but also the living traditions that define them.

    Ep. 5: The Free Press

    May's Revolution@250 episode is here, focusing on the free press – and how ideas around free expression and freedom of speech impacted generations of Marylanders. We’ll explore how this core value of the revolutionary generation was embraced by Black Marylanders and the legacy of the Baltimore Afro-American, the longest-running African-American family-owned newspaper in the United States, established in 1892. Joining us today is Savannah Wood, an artist with deep roots in Baltimore and Los Angeles. As the Executive Director of Afro Charities, Wood is leading the charge to increase access to the 130+-year-old AFRO American Newspapers’ extensive archives. In this role, she has shepherded the organization through a period of historic growth, initiated new programming, and attracted support from national funders including the Mellon Foundation, the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts and The Ruth Foundation. In this conversation, we’ll explore how the landscape of a free press in Maryland evolved, the challenges faced by the founders of the Baltimore Afro-American, and how the revolutionary concept of free speech was utilized by Black Americans to advocate, develop community, and document their experience in newspapers in Baltimore and beyond.
