Leaves a lot out of the story
I rarely go out of my way to review podcasts, but several episodes bothered me so much that I can't let it go. This show is uncritical and one-sided - they profile a subject, tending to be a powerful authority, that is "innovating" with and "saving" cities and their communities. They leave out the fact that usually these subjects have actually been the source of the communities' challenges, and their efforts are not simply an act of goodwill, but a marketing ploy and narrative flip. I would say that this podcast does its listeners an injustice by not "going deeper", but the stories are so transparently bad that I wouldn't be surprised if they are literally funded by their subjects and the entire point of the show is to be an advertisement. It's very rah rah we love cops and corporations are our saviors type stuff. I really implore you to listen just so you can improve your ability to read (listen) between the lines when you're being marketed to. And then you can give it a 1 star rating too :) absolutely awful stuff!Read full review »

I’m an architecture student and I find this podcast fascinating! It offers really great insight into things that will affect all of us who live in cities or towns. Well presented and explained.

I’m sure Sidewalk Labs has a lot to say. I’ve been looking forward towards learning more from them!

I listen to a lot of talks and podcasts on topics of sociology, city planning/design and urbanism. Sidewalk Labs hits these marks in a very thoughtful and entertaining way. You can get your fix or get hooked with this podcast🤯. So good.
