I've been a huge fan of Smart City since I started listening on a regular basis last year. Get the free e-newsletter on a regular basis. Lots of cool urban planning and thinking shows are archived from their website. Podcasting, too!
Smart City™ is a weekly, hour-long public radio talk show that takes an in-depth look at urban life, the people, places, ideas and trends shaping cities. Host Carol Coletta talks with national and international public policy experts, elected officials, economists, business leaders, artists, developers, planners and others for a penetrating discussion of urban issues.
