Sidewalks

by Mickey Capper

When most people talk about sidewalks, they are referring to pathways of raised pavement next to streets that make it easy for pedestrians to walk from one place to another. They make the modern world a little more human. This lesser known Sidewalks is a podcast. Sidewalks should come out most days and be about two minutes long. In the spirit of physical sidewalks, the show should be simple, public, a little crumbly, a little dirty, very chaotic, and made for people. Please listen. Logo by nimble art: http://nimbleart.xyz/
