About the Show
"The Number" is a podcast series produced by Panhandle PBS that focuses on the gaps in our society that have been amplified by the COVID-19 pandemic, and what those challenges mean in our region.
Each episode is centered around a statistic at the heart of issues arising during the pandemic and beyond. The idea is to draw a line from the number to the listener, their friends, family, or neighborhoods to help make the realities of our current situation become more personal and meaningful, while also illuminating creative solutions that our community is undertaking to move forward.
