National Liberty Museum (Philadelphia, PA 19106-2707)
Andrew Hammond (Project Director: July 2025 to present)

A podcast series that examines the concept of liberty in 1776 and in the contemporary United States.

The National Liberty Museum (NLM) is uniquely positioned to ask timely questions about liberty and to explore the intersections of history, culture, and politics through a new public humanities initiative: the Voices of Liberty podcast. This limited-series podcast will elevate the voices of scholars, museum professionals, politicians, artists, comedians, and community members, giving them a platform to explore what liberty means in their lives and work.  Content will center on liberty as articulated in 1776 and reconsidered in the 21st century. The podcast will treat the signing of the Declaration of Independence with the seriousness it deserves while inviting critical conversation about its contemporary implications. This initiative will form a key part of NLM’s “Year of Free Assembly,” aligning our institutional programming with the national Semiquincentennial.
