In addition to letting you all know about our new episode, we wanted to thank you. We know that it's been a difficult year for so many people and it has truly warmed our hearts to know that so many people all over the world support the mission of the podcast and find something meaningful in it. We have so appreciated everyone's emails and tweets with questions, comments and suggestions... not to mention the pictures of stickers on people's bikes! We really do love to see it.
Next year will hopefully be better and bigger for the podcast. We have some great new episodes planned and in a world where we can get out of the house again, the three of us will go back into the studio more often. We're also hoping to do more in-person interviews so we can talk directly to the people who are really pushing for change. We'll let you know if we're coming to a city near you.
All the best for a happy and healthy 2021!
- Aaron, Sarah and Doug
EPISODE 55 DESCRIPTION:
The best thing you can say about 2020 is that it was the year that, well, was. In this year-end roundup, Aaron, Sarah and Doug take some listener voice memos and respond to the stories that flew across the War on Cars news desk. Is it a Good Thing or a Bad Thing that Mayor Pete Buttigieg has been named the next Transportation Secretary? What will it mean for the future of the “third space” now that fast food restaurants are ditching indoor dining and retooling their parking lots and drive-thrus to cater to online orders? What’s the connection between a massive diesel tampering scandal in America and a landmark public health case in the UK? And what will it take to sustain the pandemic-induced bike boom into next year and beyond?
