Into the Wilds

Engaging Local History at Clarion University and Beyond

Jeffrey Diamond | Marc Sanko

On episode 19 of the Beaver County History Podcast, we talk with Clarion University history professors Jeffrey Diamond and Marc Sanko about teaching history and using podcasting to creatively engage students and community members around local history at Clarion University and throughout the great northern region of Pennsylvania.  

Clarion Communications professor Matt Albright helps produce the “Stories from the Pennsylvania Wilds” podcast, which launched in March 2020.  The podcast draws in topics and guests of interest to the north west and central part of the state, including Erie, Warren, McKean, Potter, Tioga, Lycoming, Clinton, Elk, Cameron, Forest, Clearfield, Clarion, Jefferson and northern Centre counties.
