Felled by illness, the mighty Bret had to sit out this week's episode that just happened to be on a place that Tyler had never been to and didn't know a whole lot about. So what did we do? Lay down our sword and have them replay that episode from the time we talked about beer? NO! We forged on, inviting a friend of ours (Emily!) into the studio whose love of St. Petersburg and Mother Russia at large knows no bounds.
What made this episode so great was that for the first time, we went LIVE to the East Coast (via phone) for an expert on our subject. Ted, an urban developer with a special eye for public transit (a great thing to have a special eye for), joins us on the phone to talk about his time and his program's (University of Maryland) work over in the original St. Pete this summer! (You can read their public final report HERE). He and Emily both really got going talking about this place...sounds like Tyler (and you, dear reader/listener) should consider spending some time there!
