Hooked on Science

You've probably heard of tiny houses or seen one on Instagram, but have you ever really thought about the reasons why someone might want to live in one? In this episode, Julija talks with Alice Wilson, a PhD student in Urban Sociology at the University of York, about her tiny house research. Listen along as they chat about benefits, challenges, and demand for tiny houses in the U.K. and beyond!

Learn more about Alice's own tiny house journey or her research by going to her website, you can also follow her on Twitter or Instagram or check out her social enterprise OpHouse on Twitter as well.

I highly recommend her TEDx Talk as a short and highly shareable piece of media, if you're looking for something short and digestible!
