How well do you know your city? We're not just talking about being able to navigate through your neighborhood without using google maps or knowing where the best restaurants are located - these things are important, but cities offer so much more! This podcast explores the "so much more." Join us as we talk to some really interesting and cool people doing good work in the fields of policy, advocacy, community development and more. Our goal is to highlight all of the amazing work that's happening in cities across various regions and to celebrate the leaders that are making it happen.
