This week's show is about parking. We talk to Henry Grabar, who wrote a book called All About Parking. Plus, we watch the trailer for Fast 10 and find out why they didn't call it your seat belts.
In our quest to accommodate parked cars, we’ve paved over downtowns, polluted the planet, and made it near impossible to get anywhere without driving. Slate’s Henry Grabar explains Big Parking — and how electric cars might offer an opportunity to finally try something new.
This episode was produced by Miles Bryan, edited by Matt Collette, fact-checked by Laura Bullard, engineered by Michael Raphael, and hosted by Sean Rameswaram.
