radio metropolis

A Wisconsin Public Radio show called "To the best of our knowledge" (which sounds a little bit like Matthew Arnold edited for our intelligence agency-centric era) recently produced a segment centered around several books about cities. The show starts off by interviewing Robert Neuwirth, author of Shadow Cities, and touches on other books about the San Francisco earthquake of 1906 and a number of Venetian stories old and new. You can listen after the link.
