Episode 1′s topics include: designing streets for people vs. designing them for traffic movement, a brief introduction to Fort Worth’s Near Southside revitalization district, how the Internet and social media is affecting urban revitalization, the polycentric nature of cities, lack of transportation choice, building lighting, demand-driven urbanism vs. supply-driven urbanism, Deconstructivism, the revitalization of Bilbao, Woody Allen, the Enlightenment, and inappropriate Winston Churchill quotes.
Kevin has podcasted before so for me I suppose it was about getting the hang of it. We had been getting together about once a month over beers to talk about the very same things so we decided to start recording and putting those convos on blast, y'all. Though we both tangent trip by nature, the wide variety of topics listed above was surely caffeine induced, as the show was recorded at Avoca Coffee in the Near Southside area of Fort Worth. Next time, it will be over beers, meaning it may be more jovial and/or sanguine.

I thought this was awesome. I'd love to hear you guys discuss highway issues in relation to 35W expansion, central expressway removal, WR deck park, etc...
Agree with Zach. I'm a reverse commuter and got to laugh at the follies of suburban life to you guys' narration. Made my bus ride much more enjoyable the other day.
Thanks for the feedback! The theme for our next show will be "bottom up and top down" where we will discuss freeways and citizen led efforts like better block.
