About Deep Dish Conversations
About
Deep Dish Conversations is entering a new era, evolving from an award winning podcast into a hands-on community project that brings youth and diverse community members together over something simple and universal: PIZZA!
We visit schools, community centers, and youth-focused organizations to spark conversations between young people and the changemakers, leaders, creatives, and everyday community members doing incredible work in their communities. These conversations help youth see what’s possible, discover new paths, and feel more connected to the place they call home.
At Deep Dish Conversations, we believe that when young people meet the people working to make their communities better, they begin to see the possibilities for themselves and the roles they can play in strengthening their communities too.
