Seeding Progress with Nikil Saval
If you’re on our side of the social media algorithms, you’ve likely also seen many videos from different Philadelphians hoping for a Zohran Mamdani-type to rise in Philly politics. And, as we see it, there are a number of City and State politicians who might fit the criteria. Today’s guest is one of them.*** Learn how you can support the Streets Dept Podcast and get access to bonus content and events by visiting: Patreon.com/StreetsDept ***In this episode, host Conrad Benner talks with Pennsylvania State Senator Nikil Saval. Elected in 2021, Nikil is a writer, journalist, and former co-editor of the literary journal n+1. He’s the son of immigrants and small business owners. And he’s refreshingly not someone who necessarily thought he’d end up in politics. But Nikil is someone who found himself called to public service after years of organizing as a member of the Democratic Socialists of America.Follow Nikil Saval: https://www.instagram.com/nikilsaval/ Go to Nikil Saval’s website: https://nikilsaval.com/ The Streets Dept Podcast is produced in partnership with Rowhome Productions.
