“Great discussions and interviews relating to how our cities and towns function. Especially from the financial side. This is a must listen to all urban planners, civil engineers, economists, politicians, and basically anyone who is interested in how they can improve their neighbourhood.”

“These are very important and interesting topics, but the male host is incredibly distracting--going off on tangents about his house renovations, inside jokes and how great he clearly thinks he is. Did he really suggest that one of his guests interview him the next time? And is he really doling...”Read full review »

“A smart place full of thoughtful people. The only downside is that it is hard to tear yourself away from reading, or listening, to go do actual stuff. It causes you to see the world around you from a whole different perspective and raises questions at every intersection (Why is this even here?...”Read full review »

“Strong Towns takes all the Red State/Blue State "Us vs. Them" nonsense out of the conversation and explores the nuts and bolts of why some towns prosper and many others fail. It’s an on-going comprehensive look at what works physically, economically, and culturally.”

“I'm a city planner and a lapsed engineer. I often beat my head against the wall at the simplistic short term thinking I observe from elected officials and developers. In this podcast, Chuck Marohn articulates so many of the thoughts I've had, so much more insightfully than I could. If you want to...”Read full review »

“I like how he stakes out the rational side. Anyone who says he's full of it is wrong. He's conservative in the original sense of the word, the kind of guy a social liberal can easily find common ground with. Politics shouldn't have anything to do with a question of good engineering but oh man, it...”Read full review »

“We ain't seen nuthin' yet in bad economic times. Both major political parties are talking about how we're going to recover from the 2008 collapse and its aftershocks, but we're not going to recover. Not really. When a Ponzi scheme is over, it's over.
But Chuck Marohn's Strong Towns Podcast has a...”Read full review »
