Talking about cities!

Very interesting podcast about urbanism and city life. I like the reports from contributors around the world and the variety of topics. It is so interesting, I don't even mind the mid-episode commercial break! :)
Urbanist stories for a non-urbanist audience

As an urbanist and journalist myself, I particularly enjoy this podcast which manages to tell urbanist stories for a non-urbanist audience. It's great to hear how you spin certain topics or find new, surprising aspects of them. Every episode is a little trip around the world thanks to your reporters and contributors from all the different continents. I have to say though that I feel that the quality has been going down a little bit since you went from the full hour to half an hour. That's a pity!
Worth listening to!

This podcast is really worth listening to. First I just wanted to listen to it for breakfast, but kept listening for about 3 hours. Really interesting stories and I think it will replace my usual morning radio when a new one is on air. A really good add-on to my urbanism studies.
