The Arbitrary Lines of Zoning ft. M Nolan Gray
06/17/22 • 60 min
Almost every major city is defined by a set of zoning regulations - a map that says exactly which types of buildings can be built in which areas, and what you're allowed to use those buildings for. M Nolan Gray, a city planner and author of the new book 'Arbitrary Lines', joins the show to discuss zoning. How did our modern system of zoning develop in the 20th century? What impact does zoning have on our cities? Is zoning to blame for the housing affordability crisis? And should we reform or abolish the systems of zoning that are holding us back?

Preventing Gun Violence ft. Congressman Brad Schneider
With the recent wave of shootings across America, what can be done to address the violence? Congressman Brad Schneider joins the podcast to talk about several ways to reduce gun violence and hate crimes. We talk first about his Domestic Terrorism Prevention Act, which aims to prevent white-supremacist violence like the recent shooting in Buffalo, NY. Why is this bill needed, what will it do, and how does Rep. Schneider respond to comparisons to the Patriot Act? We also discuss the ongoing conversations happening around gun control - What types of gun regulations could actually make a difference? Can something actually make it through the Senate? All this and more as we try to unravel one of America's most heated and most pressing political questions.

Why has political comedy gotten worse? ft. Jeff Maurer
Comedy has gotten more political than ever in the last 10 years, but has politics made comedy worse? Jeff Maurer, comedian and former writer for Last Week Tonight with John Oliver, joins the show to discuss political comedy and why it seems to be in decline. What made Jon Stewart's Daily Show special in the early 2000s? Why haven't recent Daily Show clones been able to repeat that success?
