    Tinicum & Eastwick - Interview with Will Caverly
    2025/01/21

    In this special interview episode, Sam and Gabe are joined by Will Caverly, author of Tinicum & Eastwick: Environmental Justice and Racial Injustice in Southwest Philadelphia.

    When plans to overhaul Southwest Philadelphia in the 1950s scheduled both the integrated neighborhood of Eastwick and the ecologically valuable Tinicum marshes to be razed, two grassroots movements took up the cause—battling eminent domain in the name of environmental conservation and economic injustice.

    Transit and Labor History - Interview with Alan Fisher
    2024/12/17

    We take a break from our regularly scheduled programming to talk with Alan Fisher, a transit youtuber with an affinity for trains and a passionate distaste for car-centric urban planning. The conversation ranges from the successes and failures of public transportation and how it affects the working class to whether or not Robert Moses was the devil incarnate (citation needed).
