#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.

3d Jahreswechsel von 2016 auf 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.

Currently, all the Streetsblogs are doing their end of the year fundraising drives. If you want to continue to support this podcast, Streetsblog L.A. and the work we do, please click here and get started on your donation.

#DamienTalks is supported by Foothill Transit, offering car-free travel throughout the San Gabriel Valley with connections to the new Gold Line Stations across the Foothills and Commuter Express lines traveling into the heart of downtown L.A.
