Hello Dear Listeners, 
Earlier this summer I say down virtually with planning colleague and former student, Brittney Beckie to talk about the unusual experience of taking on a new planning job in the midst of a pandemic.  Lots of interesting sharings and perspectives about regional and community planning, switching jobs while also reconciling one's roles during COVID-19, how does rural and urban development carry on during a pandemic, and more.  Have a listen and be sure to support community radio.
And thank you Brittney for coming on the show. Much appreciated.
