    We’re back from the new year but no so back that I have enough material for a Mondays show.  So as we started doing at the end of last year, I’m going to throw in a throwback Talking Headways from time to time to go back to some episodes I found interesting and perhaps mention more than a few times during current interviews. This episode specifically is with Clayton Nall about his book The Road to Inequality: How the Federal Highway Program Polarized America and Undermined Cities and originally was released 6 years ago in July of 2018. Clayton is now a professor at UC Santa Barbara but his book and work still ring true. Get Clayton's book from our bookshop.org site here.
