Mondays 147: Nobody Said There Would be Math

January 29, 2024

This week on the podcast we’re Han Solo but we’ve got some great news and information for you including items on Beverly Hills residents being denied permits for underground pools, we’ve got money for transit operations in a house bill, and we’re noticing the Introvert Economy is in full swing.  Come join us, we were told there would be no math in podcasting, but it turns out that’s just not true.

Testimonials

…the first thing I read every morning is the newsletter to see what’s been out there. It’s great to have an aggregator that pulls everything together so nicely.

I think that the email newsletter that you do every morning is the best one that I get, and I get a lot of them.

Mary Newsom, The UNC Charlotte Urban Institute


Really is the best daily urban newsletter out there.
