The Public Eye/The Shed Kitchen mission is to share hope, dreams, and the success of our West Philadelphia residents. It will explore the concerns and progress of the West Philadelphia community. It will examine the troubles and victories of a neighborhood that is vibrant and we will give a fair platform for the voiceless and address their fears of our rapidly changing community. The show will provide a venue for discussion and a bridge to help find resources, explanations, and, hopefully, solutions to the real or sometimes imagined problems. In the second hour, The Shed Kitchen, the Art and Entertainment section of the Public Eye News, will feature the residents of the past and present who excelled or excel in their fields. Included in this portion is a cooking show called, "Cookin' with D" for helping young men and women and a healthy menu for all; a news segment called, "Word of Mouth" for on-the-scene reporting; and a live broadcast segment for questions and answers.
