FUSS Pod

This week, we discuss the cycle of gentrification and the effect it has on Toronto's music scene with Rabia Munir, an undergraduate student at York University who is working on a project that examines the consequences of an unsupported creative class in urban spaces. We discuss the challenges of being a musician in a city that's losing music venues, the intersections of race and gender and what the future of Toronto's music scene may one day look like.

This week, we're joined by Amber Ghosh, the president of York University’s Federation of Urban Studies Student. Amber is a graduating student here at York University and has put in an immense amount of time and effort to get FUSS, the organization behind this podcast, back on it’s feet and able to represent the urban studies program. She’s a delight to talk to and full of positive energy about the future of this program and what urban studies can offer students.

Welcome to FUSS Pod, a student run podcast from York University that explores the connections between urban planning, design and public policy through interviews with our guests here on the pod. Each episode, our hosts will sit down with faculty, fellow researchers, urban planners and activists to discuss how urban design affects our daily lives and how urban planning might change our future. FUSS pod is run by the Federation of Urban Studies Students at York University, and hosted by me, Justine. Questions or comments? Get in touch with us at yorkfuss@gmail.com.
