Blue City Blues podcast has become one of my favorite podcasts. I listen to it right after Ezra Klein's podcast. It contains ideas that we all need to grapple with and provides a perspective that is oftentimes missing in the public discourse.
BCB consistently provides nuanced explorations and critiques urban progressive policies and trends. Highly recommended.
