Episode 02 - Sarah Goodyear from The War on Cars

In this episode of 'That's Her Problem', I engage in a deep conversation with Sarah Goodyear, the co-host of the podcast 'The War on Cars'. I get the rare opportunity to hear Sarah's journey from traditional journalism to podcasting, her activism and advocacy for better cities for everyone, and the upcoming book 'Life After Cars', which aims to challenge the car-centric culture and educate the general public about a life without car dependency. The conversation underscores the significance of community, the challenges encountered in urban transportation, and the necessity of advocacy to foster a more inclusive and sustainable future. In this engaging conversation, we explore the evolution of urban cycling culture, the importance of amplifying women's voices in urban spaces, and the hopes we have for the future. We discuss the need for safe and convenient cities, as well as the future of urban transportation. LinksSupport my podcast at www.pattybikes.com/podcastCheck out The War on Cars at www.thewaroncars.org Order the book Life After Cars at https://www.lifeaftercars.com/Pre-order my book in Canada from McNally Robinson: https://www.mcnallyrobinson.com/9781773371399/patty-wiens/thatll-never-work-here?blnBKM=1and in the USA from Bookshop.org: https://bookshop.org/p/books/that-ll-never-work-here-challenging-the-myths-around-biking-in-a-winter-city-the-city-project-book-3/632bcbd73d3178fe?ean=9781773371399&next=tSign up for my newsletter at www.pattybikes.com Chapters00:00 Introduction to the Podcast and Guests02:01 Sarah Goodyear's Journey in Journalism10:01 Transitioning to Podcasting and Urban Advocacy13:46 The Upcoming Book: Life After Cars18:00 Challenges in Urban Transportation and Advocacy26:30 The Evolution of Urban Cycling Culture27:51 Empowering Women's Voices in Urban Spaces29:10 The Impact of All-Girls Education32:10 Overcoming Underestimation and Imposter Syndrome35:20 Creating Safe and Convenient Cities for Women40:30 The Future of Urban Transportation41:41 Personal Reflections and Resilience44:06 Celebrating Female Authors and Their Works45:05 Looking Ahead: Upcoming Projects and Community EngagementKeywords#podcast #urbanplanning #transportation #womeninleadership #communitybuilding #Journalism #Advocacy #SustainableCities #BikeLife #ActiveTransport #WomenWhoRide #WomenInMedia #SafeStreets #Urbanism #PublicTransport #EmpoweredWomen #GirlsEducation #AuthorLife #MentalHealthAwareness
