  • Informative, Educational, and Really not Boring

    I knew nothing about Urban planning and how many aspects of my daily life are impacted by urban planning. These two ladies are passionate about the topic and it really was an interesting listen. Thought provoking and entertaining as well. Looking forward to further educating myself on this topic.

  • NY is Listening!

    This is such an informative and inspirational podcast. As someone who is starting their MUP degree in the fall, this helped me feel confident in my decision. Not only is it for people interested in urban planning, but anyone interested in social justice, and community betterment. Best of luck to you two!
