Season 2 Trailer: Change in Rural America

Welcome back to the Smithsonian's Stories from Main Street podcast! The stereotypical view of rural America is that life is quiet, people all think the same, there's not much fun stuff to do, and there are few opportunities. The truth is, just like in cities and suburbs, small-town Americans focus on family and community, work hard to make ends meet, and want their hometowns to thrive. The success of rural communities is important to all Americans. Like the rest of the country, rural America has changed remarkably in the last 100 years. Listen in as people from all over America share the good memories, hard times, and lessons learned as they reflect on how change has an impact on their hometowns.
