Turning Corners

A HYPERLOCAL PODCAST ABOUT AN UNDERHYPED REGION OF THE UNITED STATES.

—

It feels like our broken politics and failing institutions so often keep us from accomplishing real change—the kind that could lift people up and remind us that we really are in this together. But here in the Four Corners states of New Mexico, Arizona, Utah, and Colorado, there are a lot of real, committed people doing groundbreaking work to strengthen communities, bridge old divides, reduce inequality, and save the planet. They bring their unique cultures and histories to bear. They also bring a uniquely Southwestern-style courage and public spirit, along with a can-do, no-BS attitude. They’re tackling big problems, so they don’t always succeed. But their stories can be an inspiration for people all over the country. That’s why Turning Corners exists—to bring those stories to you.

Hub & Spoke co-founder Wade Roush is the show’s creator, producer, and host. He’s based in Santa Fe, New Mexico, and for over 30 years he’s explored the worlds of science, science fiction, technology, innovation, and culture, through his books, short stories, print and online journalism, and podcasts.
