About this listen

In this episode, I’m joined by Professor Ian Walker — an environmental psychologist who digs into why we do the things we do, especially when it comes to transport. We chatted about why people drive even when it might not seem to make sense, how SUVs took over the streets, the strange psychology of pavement parking, and what all this has to do with the global financial system. It’s a serious chat — but also lots of fun.


Take a look at the website for links that I mention. Enjoy the show!
