    Transit and Labor History - Interview with Alan Fisher
    Dec 17 2024

    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).

    Originally aired: April 25, 2022.
