Walkable World w/ Antonia Malchik
from Water Cooler Talk Podcast Hosted by Adam William
Joined by guest host Antonia Malchik, essayist and author of the book “A Walking Life” (42:47), Adam and Antonia discuss the profound impact the pioneers of the auto industry had on our walking world and how short-sighted decisions from modern day politicians mirror the historical exploitation of public lands. First, Adam and Antonia work through conspiracy and navigate the odd relationship between the anti-bike brigade and QAnon, unraveling their protests against the concept of a 15-minute neighborhood (06:33). Then, the conversation shifts to the short-sightedness of Utah politicians’, as they point fingers at trees for using too much water, highlighting the crucial need to redefine our understanding of water rights to help shape effective policy (01:21:11). Tune in now and enjoy the type of conversations you wish you had around the workplace water cooler!
