In this episode, I call in from Nantes, France, to chat with reporter Ray Dubicki about my current trip to Europe. We discuss all kinds of urbanist topics like multimodal transportation, public spaces, how all cities — even walkable European ones — come head to head with bad planning decisions, and of course, bidet culture. Well, that last one is not necessarily an urbanist topic, but it was fun to talk about anyway!
