The Parker Edison Project podcast is back for Season 2. This time around we explore culture in our city and how it plays out in our everyday lives; like how nature affects our mental health, and how freeways can also divide communities. We uncover the forgotten history of San Diego, and the events that helped shape the city. We also learn something new about this city we love so much. And back by popular demand- “Movies Millennials Should Movie” and “Six Degrees of Separawayans”. This is the Parker Edison Project, a sonic exploration of culture as a lifestyle, where each episode starts with a thought-provoking talk and ends with a musical bang. Outro music: "Step Down" by the Sure Fire Soul Ensemble Show Credits: Parker Edison (Host), Kurt Kohnen (Co-creator) and Chris Reyes (Head Editor)
