Bill Lascher is a journalist preparing a book on Melville Jacoby, the first Time magazine reporter killed on duty, and producer of the fabulous Thinkingest Podcast which examines our over-examining tendencies. Today he joins us to share some of his stories of travel by train on the United States’ passenger rail service Amtrak.
After we concluded the show, there was so much to discuss that we kept on talking while the tape kept running. More conversation with Bill Lascher here!
Portland Afoot just published some more kind words about our crossover episode a few weeks back! Thanks as always to Michael, Lily and their crew for the fantastic work they do around low-car mobility and culture.
Also, The Sprocket Podcast concludes its Indiegogo fundraising campaign to underwrite the next season of the show during a year with thin budgets! We have offered many personalized rewards to our backers, most recently Bryan (AKA Orange), Steve, Russ & Laura, and Jeremy! Thanks to all of our donors for their generous support!
