53206 Cast
53206, located in the inner city of Milwaukee, is the poorest zip code in the state of Wisconsin. 99.2% of residents are non-white and the median household income is $24,000. Meg and Alex talk about what they have learned over the last 15 years from living in a place that is very different than the suburbs they grew up in. Each episode typically covers thoughts on education, social justice, and the normalization of inequities they see on a daily basis. Join Meg & Alex as we rethink our inner cities together
Honest and hard conversations

I'm enjoying the new perspectives presented in this podcast. Every time I listen I listen with my teen son we have great conversations about how people experience life differently based on race, income levels etc. I particularly love the raw honesty. This couple doesn't pretend to know it all, but rather invites you to grow in your understanding along side them.
Normal people talking about real life things

If you like listening to normal people talking about real life things then you will love this podcast. Each episode asks the listener to imagine what it might be like to be black and poor in America today. I find it fascinating to learn about their neighborhood and how their own experiences have helped shape and change their opinions over the years. Alex and Megs conversations about socio-economical and racial injustice truly challenge me to think through my own biases and encourage me to gain more empathy. Well done guys!
Just good stuff

Alex and Meg open up their home to talk about race and equity, and they have the bonafides to back up what they say. I appreciate their honesty and openness to talk about the reality of poverty and how they frame their neighborhood through their experiences.
