#DamienTalksSGV 25 – The Biggest Stories of Past and Future

This is it! The last #DamienTalks of 2016. As is traditional for unoriginal talk hosts, we are hosting an “end of the year” podcast where four local experts weigh in on what was the biggest story of 2016 and what will be the biggest story of 2017.

Our guests include the closest thing a bi-weekly podcast has to regulars, David Diaz and Wes Reutimann with Bike SGV, South Pasadena Mayor Mike Cacciotti and Transit Coalition executive director Bart Reed. As a bonus, Bart and I spend the first minute and a half of his interview talking about how my kids enjoy riding on trains.
