Introducing Why Raleigh?

Welcome to Why Raleigh? A podcast about Raleigh, North Carolina — exploring what this city is and what it will become.A Millennial and a Gen Xer, a local and a New York City transplant, a girl about town and a busy mom of school age twins, a producer and a marketing executive and writer - come together to flex our curiosity and commitment to the future of this fast growing city. In this brief episode, Chauncey and Flo introduce each other, tell the story of how they met and talk a bit more about Why Raleigh?What will I be? NYC has a universally recognized vibe. As does Los Angeles and San Francisco. Atlanta and Chicago have a thing, and more recently cities like Austin and Miami owing partially to SXSW and Art Basel respectively have blown up to be creative epicenters. So what is Raleigh? We have a vibe percolating under the surface, but what is it? We will ask people from all over greater Raleigh to pin it down as we look at history, politics, development, food, creativity, of course tech and the intellectual capital of our 15+ universities and institutions of higher learning including world renowned nearby Duke and Chapel Hill. Produced by Chorus Studios LLC.
