We, Plural.
We. Plural. is a weekly interview podcast about the people building community on purpose.
Host Lisa Hall sits down with organizers, advocates, and everyday leaders working across public health, civic engagement, mental health, economic development, equity, and faith — the different rooms where community actually gets built. Each episode digs into how they do it: what it takes to bring people together, keep them together, and make "community" more than a buzzword.
This isn't a show about awareness months or talking points. It's a show about the work — the strategies, setbacks, and small wins of people moving a community from I to we.
