Special Episode: Jeff Wood and Dr. Karel Martens on planning our cities for accessibility


Listen Later

We have a special holiday gift for you with a special bonus episode to close out the year. We worked with Jeff Wood from Talking Headways and The Overhead Wire -- https://theoverheadwire.com/ -- to trade episodes with each other. Jeff will be playing our interview with Randy Clarke that kicked off Season 7 and we have his interview with Dr. Karel Martens from March 2021 talking about the philosophy behind city planning.

This is something very different from our usual topics, and we hope you enjoy it.

Make sure you check out The Overhead Wire and Talking Headways wherever you get your podcasts.
