    Episode 21 (Part 1) - Everything New is Old

    In this episode we look at the American Planning Association's 2024 Trend Report for Planners. We look at their housing, politics, and climate sections among others. The report leaves a lot to be desired. Correction: I meant to say 1924/1920 when referring to the Georgist presidential candidates, not 2024/2020. Subscribe to the Patreon for $2 per month!

Chill Vibes and Very Informative

I really love this show! I'm learning so much about housing, political structure, and the history of cultural ideas around economy. The host's voice is very gentle and the music is chill without any sharp high notes. This is fantastic for my hearing sensitivity, as this show is easy to listen to and I can trust that it won't hurt my ears. The content is also well researched and explained in a way that is clear and concise. 10/10 excellent work

For people who live, work, organize in, and love cities

An insightful, incisive and decidedly charming take on a feature of society which is at the center of struggles for social, political and climate justice: cities.

Great for policy and urban planning nerds like myself who want to revisit ideas we may have not thought cogently about since school, as well as for activists who organize in cities, and all people who simply love cities and want to take a look under the hood and see what makes them tick. Love it.

Boring!!!!

I fell asleep through the introduction only to wake up in the middle of an episode filled with nonsense and misinformation. I guess they will let anyone with a microphone have a podcast these days.
