October 30, 2021Episode 36: Dust ControlIn the 1930’s, the U.S. was taking conservation seriously. We put together a massive regional authority to handle conservation and energy issues in the Tennessee Valley, but we also attacked the growing issue called the Dust Bowl with two major Acts: The Taylor Grazing Act and the Soil Conservation Act.

October 19, 2021Episode 35: A Rose by Any Other NameFDR and National Planning seem to go hand-in-hand. Because they do. Literally. Planning on a national level spanned almost the exact same time frame as FDR’s Presidency, and FDR just wouldn’t like it go away; bringing it back under name after name after name. Both Started in 1933, and National Planning died in 1943, two years before FDR. This one’s all about the blip on the planning radar called, National Planning.

October 06, 2021Episode 34: 100 DaysI pledge you, I pledge myself, to a new deal for the American people. Let us all here assembled constitute ourselves prophets of a new order of competence and of courage. This is more than a political campaign; it is a call to arms. Give me your help, not to win votes alone, but to win in the crusade to restore America to its own people. -FDR, July 2nd, 1932 FDR Inauguration and the New Deal Pitch: http://www.roosevelthouse.hunter.cuny.edu/seehowtheyran/portfolios/193......more24minPlay
August 25, 2021Episode 33: All Good Things Must Come to an EndWell, saying goodbye to the roaring 20’s was bittersweet. Actually, it was just bitter. Bitter and depressing. When the good times from the 20’s caught up to everyone in October of 1929, the markets came crashing down. But why? And did we try and do anything to stop it?

August 12, 2021Episode 32: Get Your Motor Runnin'Get your motor runnin’, head out on the highway! Because the federal government ponied up some money in 1916 to make sure the roads were all in good condition. Or you can always head out on the parkway that New York built in 1919, and of course, you can always take your highway out to the first regional suburban shopping center too.

July 15, 2021Episode 31: The Case for ZoningThis episode is all about making the case for zoning. Is zoning constitutional? Is it a taking? Does it violate the 14th Amendment? (That’s the Due Process clause) What about simple Use Regulations? What about legislative acts? These are the things that U.S. Supreme Court had to debate. One thing is for sure though.

July 07, 2021Episode 30: It's All Pretty StandardI mean, it’s all pretty standard. Standard state zoning, standard city planning. And in the name of what again? In an effort to protect residential properties, these two acts were probably two of the more pivotal moments in planning. Shaping the way we are today, did they also sort of set-up the copy-and-paste legacy of resolutions?
