UnCommonCore Podcast | exploring cultural illiteracy

For Those Who Must Know The UnCommonCore Podcast is recorded live from the most ethnically diverse urban area in the world - Queens, New York. We talk to the people, profile the businesses, and cover the events that makes New York City a global center of art, culture and commerce worldwide. Some of our audience is chronically curious. Our subjects and methods change to satisfy that curiosity. Most of our listeners stumble upon us. If they don't hear anything they recognize they simply move on in search of something more familiar. But we are here for those who stay because they seek the unfamiliar. We are here for the explorers.
