This episode features stories from our community news reporters about an effort to change the way school districts in Pennsylvania are funded, a new museum in New Jersey where you can dig for fossils – and take them home, a stand up comedy series that highlights women and queer comics, volunteers who work with dogs that are seeking their forever homes – and why one rowhome in Philly’s Fitler Square neighborhood is home to more than 30 birdhouses. Block by Block is PhillyCAM’s LIVE community news radio program, featuring stories from Philadelphia’s neighborhoods as reported by PhillyCAM’s Radio News Fellows, a multigenerational cohort of burgeoning local journalists.
