Spacing Radio is back for Season 2! Host David Michael Lamb and the cast of Spacing Radio have emerged from a summer slumber to bring you another season of bi-weekly podcasts.

This episode takes it’s inspiration from topics examined in Spacing’s current issue of the magazine (get it on newsstands or subscribe). Listen to Spacing’s Edward Keenan discuss creative city issues with acclaimed urbanist Richard Florida (read the full interview in the magazine). Our new producer, Mieke Anderson, talks to Jane Farrow (Executive Director of the Centre for City Ecology and Jane’s Walk) and Spacing senior editors Shawn Micallef and Dylan Reid about how suburban planning has affected Toronto’s downtown and older neighbourhoods.  And we say goodbye to one of the city’s best bookstores, Pages, which acted as Spacing’s defacto retail HQ for the last five years. Music for this episode is provided by the Hidden Cameras.

  1. I didn’t notice that there had been an Episode 6 until Episode 7 came out, because episode 6 never made it to iTunes (and still isn’t there AFAICT). Can this be fixed?
