Podcast: Sean Agnew on Culture & Youth Politics
Yesterday I happened upon a great podcast interview of R5 Productions' Sean Agnew at The Flux (Right click on the first link and click "save link as" to save the podcast to your computer). In this interview Sean covers a wide range of topics, including attempts to get him to run for City Council, the difficulties of staying in business as an independent promoter in Philadelphia, and the reasons why cities should support companies that bring culture to a city (like R5) and thus help it to attract and retain young people.
If you want a great example of the many ways in which culture and politics intersect, espescially for young people, give this podcast a listen!
