Independent Journalism in Phoenix Needs You
We need to raise $15,000 by August 9 to support the reporting our community depends on. Reader support keeps us independent and is playing a larger role in funding local journalism and shaping what comes next. If you believe independent local journalism matters, make a contribution today.

In addition to being a veritable expert on the ins and outs of Phoenix as the cultural diamond in the rough that is this patch of desert (as evidenced by “Has Phoenix Finally Arrived? Feel the Love” and “New Times Staffers Weigh In on Why They’re Not Leaving Phoenix Anytime Soon“) Robrt L. Pela has an exceptional radio voice. With that in mind, we present a more intimate listen to his reasons for staying in the Valley instead of moving off to cooler climes. Take a listen and, should you be so inclined, phrase your own reasons for loving Phoenix rather than leaving it and let us know by dropping us a line at loveitorleaveit@newtimes.com. Entries will be pored over and selected for publication right here on phoenixnewtimes.com.
Be sure to check in tomorrow for two more podcasts from Phoenix native Lilia Menconi and returning Phoenician Wynter Holden.
