Upstream is a podcast by Houston Endowment that brings together researchers and changemakers to discuss what's working in Houston communities. Each episode features conversations about new approaches and promising findings across four main areas: civic engagement, education, arts and culture, and green spaces. The podcast highlights how organizations and individuals around the Houston region are making a positive impact. Recent episodes have explored topics like the Greater Houston Arts Survey, which captures detailed information about how artists live and work in the city, and the 'Grow Your Own' effort in local school districts. The podcast is available on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and YouTube, making it easy for anyone interested in community improvement to learn from local experts and organizations.
