Can geometric shapes heal the world? That's what the artists of the De Stijl movement—which came of age in the Netherlands after World War I—believed. Piet Mondrian is one of the most famous members of this group, which forbade circles and embraced light, color, and geometry as a way to move past the chaos of the war. As AFAR contributing writer Chris Colin discovers on a trip to Utrecht, that's not quite as bizarre as it sounds. And as he bicycles through quaint streets, meditates along charming canals, and visits the De Stijl artifacts that still exist, Chris learns that, just maybe, De Stijl's philosophy is still applicable today. Don't miss these moments! 3:31: The beginning of Chris's Q&A. 7:55: What he appreciated most about the city. 9:47: Why De Stijl's art has endured. 14:25: Chris's Travel Tale. Meet this week's guest Chris Colin, AFAR contributing writer  Resources Read this episode's show notes, including a full transcript of the episode.

Amtrak can be a helpful tool to help reduce transportation emissions since it's more energy efficient than driving or flying. But weather events like wildfires, flooding andlandslides can seriously impact passenger service. Earlier this year, the Coast Starlight, a route that runs between Los Angeles and Seattle, was disrupted by track flooding in California. The damage affected the route for nearly a month. Issues like coastal erosion and heat waves have affected service too. Mounting disasters have closed or impacted Amtrak routes across the country. L.V. Anderson has been covering the issues facing Amtrak for Grist. She joins us with details of her reporting.

As a special bonus, we are honored to share our space and introduce you to Travel Tales by Afar. On Travel Tales by AFAR, fascinating people share their stories of life-changing travel, from novelist Maggie Shipstead's chilly Arctic saga to comedian Michelle Buteau's tale of getting stood up in Paris (really!). In the Travel Tales episode we're sharing today, writer Chris Colin hits the rails with his teen daughter, Cora. As the dream of high-speed rail in California inches ever closer, Chris wanted to celebrate one of the slowest trains around: The Coast Starlight, which has chugged up and down the West coast for the past half century. The train itself offers a mix of charming nostalgia and sublime Deco beauty, while the destinations along the way offer opportunities to share the past and present of the West Coast. Chris wanted to share this magic with Cora, who is hovering on the brink of “parent-spurning adolescence,” he says. For the two, the trip doubled as one last hurrah—one sentimental kind of trip nestled in another.
