  • E393 – Dr. Peter Furth

    Dr. Peter Furth is a smart guy who thinks about how people get around, and a friend of our former guest Peter Koonce who sent us his way.  He spoke with Brock at his office a few days before Christmas in his office on the Northeastern University campus; the conversation ranged from traffic logistics to bicycling stress, and it was great to hear the passion in Peter’s voice when he talks about how things could be.

    Learn more about Peter & his work here: http://www.northeastern.edu/peter.furth/

    We’ll be back soon with more in-studio episodes.  Have a great new year!
