Joe Molnar: Author of the "More People" Series

In this episode, I meet with the author of the More People article series, Joe Molnar. His series detailed how South Bend grew every decade up until the 1960s and then explained our unprecedented population loss of over 30,000 people in the fifty years that followed.

With Joe's article series, you will not find a more comprehensive, understandable, descriptive account of South Bend, IN's population shifts. When you read the articles, you’ll find what Joe writes is NOT just numbers and census data, it’s our local history, and he articulates that local history in a manner that tells a clear story. Hear ALL about that and more in this episode!
