The Third Place Podcast explores one of the biggest challenges of modern life: how we build stronger communities in an increasingly disconnected world.

We discuss why it's harder to make friends, what creates a sense of belonging, how communities succeed or fail, and what organizers, leaders, and everyday people can do to bring people together.

Episodes combine research, practical ideas, and conversations with guests—from community builders and researchers to organizers, entrepreneurs, and people working to strengthen social connection.

If you're interested in community building, friendship, third places, social events, civic engagement, leadership, and creating places where people genuinely belong, this channel is for you.
