High Speed Trin
I enjoyed this podcast. But it’s pretty biased against the republicans in office during this high speed train issue. And that’s why none of them wanted to be interviewed for it I suppose.
About so much more than trains
I loved how this podcast addresses the larger context and all the complicated ways the economy, politics, public policy, etc played into this specific example of the high speed rail project. Very well done!
Excellent look back
Apolitical and informal retold cold case on a project that would have changed Wisconsin in so many ways. A deeply saddening tale exposing how austerity and small town-mindedness left Wisconsin opposed to change. Thank you
