Brandon Stanton is the most famous artist you've probably never heard of.

He’s the creator of Humans of New York and his portraits and stories of everyday people have over 30 million followers online, yet to most of his audience he remains invisible.

Today we speak with the man behind the camera about art, faith, loneliness, perseverance, and what it means to truly see one another.

The first episode of How to Change the World features Brandon Stanton, the visionary behind online storytelling sensation Humans of New York. He shares the story behind his boldest project yet - turning Grand Central Station into an immersive gallery of New Yorkers and their stories.

Together, we explore how to realize a dream this big, the moral complexity of capturing human stories, and the extraordinary wisdom in each of us.

The How to Change the World Podcast is produced by World Within Studios with PRX.

The How to Change the World Podcast invites you to sit down with builders, artists, and organizers as they wrestle with today’s challenging questions while providing blueprints, cautionary tales, and calls to action for anyone ready to fight for a more just world.

As our host Rostam Zafari put it: "Our world is organized by a financial system that concentrates power and wealth––pulling resources out of communities and putting them into the pockets of the few, but right now, across the globe, people are breaking those rules, and building towards a fair future. The How to Change the World podcast is where we come together, learn, and chart a path toward that future together.”

New episodes every other Thursday starting October 9th. Produced by World Within Studios with PRX.
