Out of the Blocks | Stories in Plain Sight

Created by Aaron Henkin and Wendel Patrick, Out of the Blocks is an immersive listening experience built from a mosaic of voices and soundscapes on the streets of Baltimore. A custom-tailored score by Wendel Patrick embroiders this tapestry of stories hidden in plain sight. Produced by the Peale, this online exhibition of the 25 Baltimore blocks recorded so far will grow over the coming year. Check back regularly or subscribe to receive alerts when new blocks are added. Hear Out of the Blocks on WYPR 88.1. You can also get the Out of the Blocks podcast at Apple Podcasts or Google Play.

I’ve been binge listening and I have no plans to stop. Love these stories.

I love it! Out of the Blocks is a truly unique podcast. I feel like a participant as we walk through neighborhoods and meet people. Listening to this podcast has influenced me to pause and chat a little longer with people I encounter during the day. Aaron is a truly kind and genuine interviewer, and I love listening to Wendel’s musical illustrations of the interviews.

This is a really amazing Podcast that explores real Humanism. The Light, the dark and the Grey realities of those experiences in between. Bravo.
