 Are bikes and e-scooters outrunning cars and buses? This is what host Brittany Atkins ponders with experts and micromobility-enthusiasts Lukas Neckermann and Morten Rynning.  In this episode, we discuss the micromobility model and what its potential future could be - one that could change the way we interact with mobility as we know it, or just another pit stop on the way to car ownership. There's 38 minutes of passionate debate, discussion, and perspective; sit with us and enjoy the conversation.

During the pandemic, outdoor and indoor spaces are being reconceptualized to better suit new ways of living, working, and eating. In this episode we’ll explore the ways familiar spaces are shifting to become more hygienic, more profitable, and more accessible. We start with a story about the expansion of outdoor dining into New York City’s sidewalks and streets. Then we travel to outer space to learn how astronauts are abandoning freeze-dried foods for home cooked meals. We wander through a park that aims to forge a healthier relationship between people and plants. And we examine how one vertical farm has reimagined both agriculture and office space.
