PUBLIC GOOD
People work and play in digital spaces more than ever before, but Nevada's public spaces are regularly full of people. Public Good uses audio media to take listeners inside Southern Nevada's urban public spaces and talk with the people there. The aim is to portray the state's urban landscape through the sounds and voices heard inside areas that are open to everyone. Each episode takes listeners inside a specific, public location inside urban Clark County, Nevada. This project is supported in part by the Nevada Arts Council and the National Endowment for the Arts.
