Dive into the unseen corners of America! Forgotten America explores the challenges and triumphs of rural communities, sharing their stories and solutions.
Forgotten America is a podcast about the many places that get flown over, driven past, or completely forgotten and the people who call these places home. In each episode, we’ll diagnose the unique challenges faced by rural America and unpack and explore the solutions to those challenges. We’ll also share the culture, stories, and perspectives of Forgotten Americans from the hilltop to the holler and the desert to the delta.
