Love to hear about our people

I absolutely love this podcast! It's doing important work in highlighting Black and Brown planning professionals around the country, most of whom I'd never hear about otherwise. It's like choppin' it up with the crew back in undergrad -- it feels like home. Keep it up!

Fantastic

As Black graduate student in Urban Planning, this podcast has really helped me understand what my role will be post graduation. Jermaine really brings a voice to planning that I feel has been missing in my formal education and I am appreciative of him and his guests. This podcast has educated me, humbled me, and most importantly, inspired me.
