  • Engaging storytelling and awesome focus on community drivers

    This documentary style urbanism podcast profiles community drivers who are making a difference within their communities. It offers high production values, engaging place-based narratives, and a focus on community drivers rather than practitioners. Listening to Placemakers inspired me to get into podcasting, and definitely provided the blueprint for how I wanted to tell stories on my own podcast, Indigenous Urbanism.

  • GREAT SHOW!

    Love that this show spans beyond topics on gentrification, etc. Show does a really great job of intersexting various other topics and how they relate to our cities and towns we live in. Listen to this while doing homework. Always leaves me thinking about the world & my neighborhood in a different way.

  • Great for urban studies buffs

    This podcast series is well produced. The stories are interesting, human and honest. If you like stories about urban spaces and urban planning, I haven't found a better podcast. If you like good story telling period, this is for you.

    My only complaint? I've listened to all of them and don't know when they'll be adding more!
