Podcasts about cities

Worldbuilding. It's one of the most talked about aspects of running TTRPGs, as it is the sandbox into which you will throw your party to adventure in. We've talked about tips and tricks in past episodes and articles, and have come down on both sides of the debate surrounding how much to do with a focus totally on your specific table and party.However, in this episode, Tony, Chris, and Dave have decided to become a bit more involved with a new experiment that we cooked up.Something that has never been done on 3WD before – we're going to start building a new world live! In real time, we begin asking the questions that will shape our new creation. As this is a show by DMs for DMs, we're adding another aspect. YOU!

In this episode, I'm sharing a story from my blog about how neighboring cities shape each other and the surprising ways that history still affects us today. I dive into Lacey's journey to cityhood, from its rivalry with Olympia in the 1960s over annexation and boundaries, to its push north in the 1980s to grow into undeveloped areas like Hawks Prairie. Along the way, I explore how city boundaries have never been neutral, they've historically shaped wealth, services, and political power, often in ways that entrench inequality. I also discuss modern implications, including Lacey's recent studies on annexing older unincorporated neighborhoods and how financial and service considerations continue to drive decisions. And I touch on a broader idea: what if independent boards, rather than city governments themselves, managed city boundaries to focus on efficiency, equity, and community planning? Finally, I'm excited to share how the podcast is expanding to cover local school district and city council races, bringing in new voices, but the same policy-focused perspective to elections that shape our communities today.

As Trump masses his Federal shock forces to invade and occupy major Democratic Sanctuary cities and states this week, City and State leaders like Boston Mayor Michelle Wu, and Illinois Governor JB Pritzker are leading the anti-Trump Administration resistance, in the streets and in courts. Michael Popok examines the new lawsuit the DOJ has filed against Boston and its Mayor to force it to destroy its Sanctuary City laws to not cooperate with federal immigration enforcement, and the likely dismissal of the suit as a violation of States Rights and the 10th Amendment to the Constitution.

Unleashed: The Political News Hour with Bruce Robertson – Charlie Kirk was killed by an assassin's bullet in the same week that a hardworking, young refugee from Ukraine was senselessly slashed and killed by a career felon on a public train in Charlotte. Underlying both events is a nation in which the Democrat Left is completely out of control...

P&C drink and review a Maibock from Guilford Hall Brewing, then discuss the problem of crime in (mostly Democrat-run) cities. Crime in cities is nothing new, but is it so bad that the federal government needs to get involved? Crime is one of the most divisive political issues in America today, and nowhere is the debate sharper than in the nation's Democrat-run cities. Are recent reports of falling homicide rates proof that things are improving, or just cherry-picked statistics that ignore rising thefts, carjackings, and drug crises? We'll look at the long decline of urban centers under one-party rule, the trade-off between “equity” policies and public safety, and the uncomfortable reality that many of the worst crime numbers in “red states” are concentrated in blue-governed metro areas.This episode also asks whether Washington should step in. Should a president send in the National Guard to restore order, or would federal intervention undermine democracy and escalate tensions? We'll explore the legal precedents, the failures of urban policy on homelessness and drugs, and what decades of the same leadership have delivered. Finally, we put the political question directly: after generations of Democratic mayors, is it time to try something different?Join us as we cut through spin, examine the data, and confront the bigger cultural costs: broken trust in institutions, hollowed-out downtowns, and the growing question of whether America's great cities can truly be saved.

Today's West Coast Cookbook & Speakeasy Podcast for our especially special Daily Special, Blue Moon Spirits Fridays, is now available on the Spreaker Player!Starting off in the Bistro Cafe, as Trump musters his illegal Federal shock troops to invade and occupy major Democratic Sanctuary cities and states, leaders of those Cities and States have unleashed an unexpected push back.Then, on the rest of the menu, the Oregon Senate's top three Democrats, and two of the state's only Black lawmakers, received bomb threats at their homes over the Charlie Kirk killing; historically Black colleges across the United States issued lockdown orders and canceled classes after receiving threats over the Charlie Kirk killing; and, the two people who were detained, publicly named and later released following the killing of Charlie Kirk, continue to face an onslaught of death threats and stalking, even after police said they were not suspects.After the break, we move to the Chef's Table where thousands in Slovakia gathered in an escalation of previous protests against the pro-Russian policies of Prime Minister Fico; and, while Trump shuffles and mumbles, France deployed fighter jets and the UK announced fresh sanctions against Russia over its drone attack over Poland.All that and more, on West Coast Cookbook & Speakeasy with Chef de Cuisine Justice Putnam.Bon Appétit!The Netroots Radio Live Player​Keep Your Resistance Radio Beaming 24/7/365!“Structural linguistics is a bitterly divided and unhappy profession, and a large number of its practitioners spend many nights drowning their sorrows in Ouisghian Zodahs.” ― Douglas Adams "The Restaurant at the End of the Universe"Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/west-coast-cookbook-speakeasy--2802999/support.

You've probably traveled through some small cities in Oregon, but it's unlikely you've been to cities this small. On this week's episode of Peak Northwest, we head to the five smallest cities in the state, places that barely have a population or main street to speak of. That's not to say there's nothing to see there. Samantha Swindler, features reporter for The Oregonian/OregonLive took a road trip out to all five tiny cities, talking to locals and learning everything she could about these places. From Old West reenactments to incredible stargazing and one particularly unusual city council meeting, here's what you can discover in the smallest small towns in Oregon. Here are some highlights from this week's show: What are Oregon's five smallest cities and how small are we talking about? Greenhorn and Granite are so small and so remote, that few people ever pass through. How Shaniko embraces its Old West history to draw in tourists.

Oklahoma is racing to attract data centers, facilities that store and process the information powering everything from streaming services to artificial intelligence, to the Sooner State. Governor Kevin Stitt has touted them as a cornerstone of economic growth, but as more projects roll into communities, residents and lawmakers are asking questions: How much water and electricity will these centers consume, and why is so much of that information kept under wraps?Cities and companies often sign nondisclosure agreements, meaning details about utility use and long-term costs are hidden from the public. That lack of transparency has fueled concern from those who worry about higher bills, strained resources, and the environmental impact of these projects. At the same time, state leaders see them as a chance to make Oklahoma a national hub for tech investment.Today on Listen Frontier, we're joined by Representative Amanda Clinton, a Tulsa Democrat hosting an interim study on data centers, and Frontier reporter Kayla Branch, who's been covering the issue. We'll talk about what's known, what's still secret, and why the fight over data centers is really a debate about policy, accountability, and public trust.

The cities of Gresham, Troutdale, Fairview and Wood Village are rethinking what fire service might look like in East Multnomah County. For decades, Gresham’s fire department has contracted with the other cities to provide service. But the cities have grown, and funds for firefighters have not kept up. Now, the cities are considering a new option: a fire district. Instead of Gresham having primary control of services, the municipalities would work together to offer fire support for the area. Holly Bartholomew is an OPB reporter covering Portland’s suburban communities as a Report for America Corps member. She joins us with more on how the cities plan to move forward.

Here's where we'd invest in real estate right now. The best markets to buy rental properties are often overlooked, affordable cities with strong rents, reasonable home prices, and robust job growth. These markets could not only appreciate steadily, giving you the long-term wealth you're looking for, but also pocket you some decent cash flow, so you have more passive income to grow your portfolio faster. We've got nine expert-chosen markets lined up, and there's probably more than one with precisely what you're looking for! These are NOT teeny tiny markets with $50,000 home prices in some town you've never heard of. These are real cities, with serious growth potential and millions (if not billions) of dollars being poured into them by local governments. Cities where jobs are growing, populations are rising, and rental demand is strong.  If you don't know where to buy your first or next property, this is the episode to help you whittle down your list. By the time you're done listening to this, you'll have at least a few hot real estate markets to start analyzing! In This Episode We Cover The nine best (affordable) real estate markets that we would personally invest in A booming group of “satellite” cities that are already growing very fast  The fastest-growing affordable city with a new $3B (yes, billion) investment The Northeast's sweet spot city with high rents and median home prices  One Midwest city investors LOVE to buy in…but is it still worth it?  And So Much More!

John Solomon and the team at Just the News uncover shocking revelations surrounding the Joe Biden auto pen scandal. New documents reveal that President Biden's aides believed he had a legal obligation to personally sign official presidential actions, including pardons, but by the end of his presidency, he was outsourcing these critical decisions to Vice President Kamala Harris. We discuss the implications of these findings with lawyer Sam Dewey from the Oversight Project, who initiated the investigation into the auto pen signatures. Additionally, Congresswoman Beth Van Duyne shares her insights on crime cleanup efforts in major cities, and Adam Weiss, CEO of AMWPR, weighs in on the potential impact of the mayoral race in New York City.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
