We’ve had a bit of a run of serious, thoughtful episodes of late, so this time we’re going to the opposite extreme.

This week, Stephanie joins me to debate some very serious and important questions from the audience, including: What is the ontological origins of tube-iness? Bendy buses, good or bad? Does Yorkshire really deserve devolution?

For reasons that are less clear we also step outside of the normal CityMetric brief to discuss university tuition fees and the feminism of Senator Bernie Sanders. It all made sense at the time.

Skylines is the podcast from the New Statesman's cities site, CityMetric. It's hosted by Jonn Elledge and Stephanie Boland.
