Tales of 202 with Steve Anders
<p>***Please note this was recorded during the summer of 2021.***</p> <p>For Steve Anders, Washington DC is a living, breathing contrast. Back in the seventies and eighties, it was one of the murder capitals of the world - and yet it also felt safe. And this parallelism never felt truer for him growing up biracial in the US capital back in those days. </p> <p>This episode is a well-told time machine in the eyes of Anders, a native through and through who experienced the best and the worst that DC can offer. He narrates his fun childhood days living in the shadows of the White House, surrounded by massive monuments and landmarks that revealed the city's sense of grandeur and history. Then, he looks back on the massive changes that have occurred over the years—the gentrification and its impact on a small US city that wants to hold on to culture and tradition but also keep up with the rest of the world. </p> <p>In between, he tells personal stories of a black child who just wanted to fit in with a highly diverse population but ultimately made it because he had immense pride in his roots. </p> <p>This is a touching, powerful, and inspiring memoir about one man's journey through the ups and downs of life in America's capital. It is also a reminder that no matter how much things change, some things will always remain the same. Important Points of This Episode: Get a glimpse of Washington DC over 40 years ago from a child who grew up in the seventies and eighties. Trace the biggest developments—and downsides—of gentrification. Understand the struggles of biracial children to find their place in a diverse society. Hear an uplifting story about one man's journey to success in the face of adversity</p> <p><br></p>

His father, for example, ran a studio. Her siblings have taken up arts in school, while she currently sits on the board of Washington Project for the Arts, which has been supporting home-grown artists for decades.</p> <p>And like most of those who considered DC as their home their entire lives, she has seen the nation’s capital past the usual monuments, memorials, and museums.</p> <p>For instance, the eclectic neighborhoods offer experiences unique from one another, whether it be a cozy cup of coffee from a local cafe or an underground theater experience.</p> <p>If you want to know more about the arts and culture scenes that continue to breathe vibrancy and life into DC, listen to our podcast episode with Kate today. We promise you that you will never look at DC the same way again.</p> <p><br></p> <p>In This Episode:</p> <ul> <li>Experience the arts and culture of Washington DC in the eyes of an advocate</li> <li>Discover the creative gems of DC’s neighborhoods</li> <li>Learn why Kate calls DC unique (What makes it different from other popular places, like New York?)</li> <li>Unwrap the massive changes in DC (Is it good or bad?)</li> </ul>

And this memory shattered his innocence and made him realize he could be living a sheltered life.</p> <p>Let’s listen to this stand-out memory and figure out together the good and bad—and the misconceptions people have—about living and thriving in DC.</p> <p><br></p> <p>In This Episode:</p> <ul> <li>Uncover a life-changing experience that changed Hugh’s outlook about his city</li> <li>Know the biggest myth people tell about the country’s capital</li> <li>Get a glimpse of the normal life among growing kids in the 1970s</li> </ul>
