Out Of The Blocks: Penn-North

Wendell Patrick

As we listen back this morning to some of our interviews after the death of Freddie Gray, we also want to revisit how WYPR’s The Signal covered the issues days after the riot on April 27.  We hear part of the “Out of the Blocks” series produced by WYPR’s Aaron Henkin with electronic musician Wendel Patrick and talk about how Aaron produces the series, collecting the stories of a single block and stitching them together to craft Out Of The Blocks.

Aaron creates and produces original radio programs and podcasts for WYPR. His current project is The Maryland Curiosity Bureau. Aaron's neighborhood documentary series, Out of the Blocks, earned the 2018 national Edward R Murrow Award. His past work includes the long-running weekly cultural program, The Signal, and the Smithsonian Folkways Recordings series, Tapestry of the Times. Aaron's stories have aired nationally on NPR's Morning Edition and All Things Considered.
