City People is an immersive podcast + video series about how cities really work and the people who make them magical, messy, joyful, infuriating, and alive. Hosts Sam Roxas and Warren Logan take you out of the studio and into real places -- food halls, sidewalks, trains, cafés -- to talk with the parents, planners, small-business owners, advocates, neighbors, and everyday characters who shape urban life.
