Commons Good Podcast
The Commons Good podcast team is sitting down with the All-America City (AAC) 2020 finalists to learn more about the work and the individuals helping to steward it forward. In this episode of the All-America City mini-series we have the opportunity to connect with Portsmouth, Ohio Councilman and Shawnee State professor, Sean Dunne. Portsmouth is situated in southeastern Ohio at the confluence of the Ohio and Scioto Rivers—once the center of the nation’s opioid epidemic—this community is working together to write a new narrative and create a renewed future for all. Listen in as Sean shares how starting with what they had in common helped to create a dog park, spark youth leadership, secure funding to innovate with housing, and earn them three Guinness World Records—creating the momentum for generational change.
