Small Town Showcase is Missouri Humanities’ premiere digital storytelling initiative. Through podcasts and short films, the program highlights the heritage and culture of Missouri’s small towns, sharing their unique stories of resilience, revitalization, and resurgence. This special season of Small Town Showcase (titled “Show Me 250”) will feature stories that highlight Missouri’s contribution to 250 years of American history. Each community will work with Missouri Humanities’ production team on a podcast episode and short film about their town. The films premiere on Missouri Humanities’ free streaming platform, Humanities TV (www.h-tv.org); the podcast is available on all major platforms.
