From small towns to big cities — Grapple gives voice to people living and working in distressed communities.

Through personal narratives and long-form storytelling, you hear conversations that tell the story of America’s profound economic and social changes — including how distressed communities have changed over time, what they’re grappling with today, and how they’re redefining themselves.

Grapple’s first season takes you to a series of communities across Pennsylvania that were once vibrant but struggle today.

The season also features breakout episodes — to dig deeper into the big issues you’re hearing about — with leading economists, sociologists, writers and more.
