Inspired by the Federal Writers Project of the 1930s, this distinctive series takes listeners on a journey that explores the Writers Projects legacy, what it achieved, where it fell short, and what it means for Americans today. With NEH support, Stone Soup developed the branding, website and social media footprint for the series, as well as scripting and producing multiple episodes with bonus content. Stone Soup Productions collaborated with the American Library Association and the Library of Congress on conceiving and drafting plans for podcast distribution, library exhibitions, and public events. The podcast series premiered in February 2024, with new episodes being released monthly. 6000 23675 MAP- Media & Arts for LiteracyStone Soup Productions is proud to continue serving as the fiscal sponsor for Media & Arts for Literacy (MAP), a global education and talent initiative that collaborates with top artists and media professionals from challenging contexts and diaspora communities to inspire international organizations, governments, academic institutions, and civil society to use creative approaches to conflict transformation and peacebuilding. Stone Soup and MAP were awarded a grant from the US Embassy in Tunisia to launch the Media and Arts for Peace Countering Dangerous Speech in Tunisia Project which finished in 2023. The goal of the 6-month project was to empower 15 Tunisian youths to galvanize community engagement and raise public awareness to counter hate speech, disinformation, and misinformation in the country. The initiative included online workshops built around teaching the tools and techniques for conceptualizing an artistic project to counter hate speech. This was followed by an expanded, in-person workshop where participants produced an artistic project that addressed the subjects of hate speech and information disorder in Tunisia. The completed artistic projects were distributed primarily through YouTube, social media, and the creators websites. 28440 2700 California Humanities and Humanities Nebraska GrantsStone Soup Productions was also awarded grants from California Humanities and Humanities Nebraska to research, script and produce full episodes of the The Peoples Recorder podcast that focus specifically on the efforts of the Federal Writers Project in those states.

The episode produced with a grant from Humanities Nebraska focuses on the acclaimed literary environment being nurtured in Nebraska during the 1930s and how that resulted in one of the most well-regarded and prolific of the Writers Project state offices.
