Bacon has become a pop culture icon and everyone seems to be connected to him by six degrees or less. After\u00a0continually hearing his name used alongside the popular \u201csix degrees\u201d concept,\u00a0Bacon decided to embrace it by creating the non-profit SixDegrees.org\u00a0and is now taking it one step further in his new podcast \u201cSix Degrees with Kevin Bacon.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m thrilled to be able to expand the work I do with SixDegrees in this way. This podcast peels back the layers for fans and shows them another side of their favorite stars while honoring the real heroes-the people on the ground making a difference. It provides my guests with a platform to talk about the real-world issues that keep them awake at night. It\u2019s a first for me and I\u2019m looking forward to people getting to know me in a different way.\u201d expressed Bacon.<\/p>\n
Each week, Bacon has fun, lively conversations with his celebrity connections about their lives, passion projects and favorite charitable causes. Every episode also features the extraordinary changemakers behind these charitable organizations, who share inspirational stories about their efforts to motivate and\u00a0bring about positive change in their communities.<\/p>\n
