EP-0124 Beyond The Noise: Where Did Everybody Go? The Death of Third Places 20260617

Tonight on Beyond The Noise, Republic Sentinel and YankeeFree are talking about third places, the everyday gathering spots outside of home and work where people used to build friendships, community, conversation, and local culture. From diners, bars, coffee shops, barber shops, clubs, churches, music venues, VFW halls, parks, and neighborhood hangouts, we’re asking a bigger question: where did everybody go? Did technology, social media, rising costs, changing work schedules, distrust, politics, and the loss of local culture slowly kill the places where people actually meet face to face? This is a perfect chat-driven BTN conversation, so jump in and tell us: What was your third place? Do you still have one? And what happens to a society when people stop gathering in real life?
