  • Confronting Car-centric Mindsets in America

    This pod highlights the efforts of local advocates who are leading the effort to shift Americas from a car-first mindset towards more inclusive thinking for pedestrian and cycling access to public roads.

  • Host Needs to Prepare

    This podcast has informative guests, but the host just wings-it and in essence disrespects the guests. The host wants the guests to just continue talking and does ask pertinent questions. This sounds like a show made by an amateur, but they actually get broadcasted on a public radio station. There are a few other bike related podcasts that have really good interviewers.
