The Science of Wildfires + Why Cybertrucks Are Bad for Cities

In this week’s episode, we explore the science behind out-of-control wildfires and we ask how we can save our cities from Cybertrucks. Jeff hosts this summer special, featuring two of our most popular past interviews. First, Amber speaks with journalist John Vaillant, bestselling author of Fire Weather, about what we can learn from an oil town that went up in flames – and why the lessons are especially relevant during another summer marked by extreme heat in a warming world. Next up, city planner Brent Toderian unpacks the truth about bike lanes and explains why car-dependent cities are not the future.
