With science funding under threat and the internet full of misinformation, we have a hero among us: Sarah McAnulty.

In this episode, host Conrad Benner talks with Sarah about the challenges and opportunities of this moment. Not only is Sarah arguably one of our country’s most successful science communicators, but she’s also a street artist. And really, the two for her go hand-in-hand. In her conversation with Conrad, Sarah gives some really practical advice for how to help increase biodiversity in your town or city–and why that’s very important for supporting a future for us all!

To kick off the 5th year of the Streets Dept Podcast, host Conrad Benner talks with a very special guest who's making a big announcement. That guest is Terrill Haigler, but there's a chance you know him better as "Ya Fav Trashman." Over the last few years, Terrill has turned a much-beloved Instagram account that he created to help Philadelphians better understand the challenges of sanitation work at the start of the pandemic into a movement for better streets. Now, he's hoping to take that energy to local government.
