The Free to Bmore podcast is a new initiative of the Enoch Pratt Free Library. But it goes well beyond library services. We’re engaging leaders and innovators who are making a difference in Baltimore City.

Our latest podcast guest was UMBC President Dr. Freeman Hrawboski, who discussed how his experience as a child marching with Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. impacted his life.

Ceasefire Baltimore founder Erricka Bridgeford also joined the podcast to discuss how the non-violence movement began and how it’s spread far beyond the city of Baltimore.

Stay tuned for the next guests to the Free to Bmore podcast March episode as we celebrate Women’s History Month with two strong female leaders.
