Customer Reviews
One of my favorite urban planning pods
I love the mix of expert interviews and weekly news review on Mondays (plus links to said articles in the show notes!). Keep up the great work.
Good content, bad audio
The show has good perspective and great guests, but the audio is intolerable. Jeff seems to fade into mumbling frequently, and the interstitial audio is often much louder than the talking. It’s painful to listen.
New to the Show
I’m new to the show and I’m loving it so far. Particularly interesting in what midsize cities are doing to improve equity.
