Welcome to The Grass is Green in Pittsburgh, a podcast about events, organizations, opportunities, and spaces that make Pittsburgh such a wonderful place to find, build, and strengthen community. Ever since moving to Pittsburgh, I've been seeking out ways to feel connected, meet new people, and give back to the community. I've been collecting interviews from small businesses, activity organizers, volunteer coordinators, etc., and we'll be publishing our first episode as soon as it's ready.
