Ep. 32: Flying Cars
Manage episode 244008596 series 1402890
We chat with Pavan Yedavalli, a Ph.D. candidate at Berkeley researching the implications to urban planning if cars could fly (seriously). We talk about why public transportation is bad, NIMBYism, and ridiculous superstitions that we definitely still follow.
If you want to learn more about Pavan’s field of study, check out Berkeley’s Urban Air Mobility program at uam.berkeley.edu.
Model minorities
Kate’s model minority is Rui Hachimura, small forward for the Washington Wizards. He’s the second Japanese national to be drafted in the NBA after Yasutaka Okayama was drafted in 1981.
Yoko’s model minority is Roselyn Keo, an exotic dancer whose story of drugging and swingling wall street bros was made into the movie Hustlers.
