i remember when the creator of this podcast and Out of The Block series gave me a deck of what i call “interpersonal cards,” which is like a game of getting to strangers anywhere from 30 seconds to an hour if the vibe was right. i think of this podcast series every Mercury Rx or Venus Rx

United States4 years ago - Excellent interviews!
Great mix of local to Baltimore and around the world communities! Provides a wonderful perspective on how even though blocks may look different to the outsider, all blocks share common features.
Apple Podcasts5Matt L 52090United States5 years ago - We’ll miss you!
Out of the Blocks is one of the most important shows available today. While most of the shows available concentrate on the major incidents which are ‘newsworthy, this show reports on the ‘Everyman’. It is unfailingly interesting and often touching. It shows, as does much great art, that every person has a story worth listening to.
This is OotB’s final season. I have been a listener since the shows inception and will really miss it.

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.
