Metropocalypse

29

Explosions and smoke-filled tunnels. Frustrated riders and epic commutes. This is the new normal on Washington’s Metro. Metropocalypse, a weekly podcast from WAMU 88.5, explores the unprecedented plan to rebuild tracks and re-engineer culture on the nation’s second largest transit system.

    Please continue this after safetrack
    I've actually never written a podcast review before now, but I felt like I needed to express how much I enjoy listening to WAMU's Metropocalypse. As someone very interested in transportation policy I find this podcast very engaging and absolutely fascinating. Guest speakers such as Zachary M. Schrag, Paul Winnefield, and members of congress bring interesting perspectives to the table and supplement the already excellent reporting done by the team. I listen to six other podcasts and this one has easily become my favorite. I hope programming will continue after safetrack

    Excellent!
    I love Metropocolypse. My only complaint is that it is only once a week when metro is disastrous on pretty much a daily basis. Hopefully all of this great reporting will really move metro in the right direction. Thanks WAMU!

    One suggestion
    I find the podcast interesting and helpful. I would like to suggest, however, that in episodes when you are discussing other topics such as architecture and systems and other cities, you still at least mention what Safe Track closures are in effect at that time. That seems to have fallen by the wayside. Keep up the good work.

    Awesome
    Great comprehensive, in-depth look at WMATA. Interesting interviews, rider feedback, and everything you need to know about SafeTrack

    Sense-making at its finest
    Fantastic podcast that does its best to make sense that is the cluster of WMATA, with interesting historical context. Fantastic for those who find talk of infrastructure to be sexy.

    Was waiting for it
    I was waiting for more WAMU podcasts and this is basically perfect for this year as the SafeTrack project starts up. Very informative and love the reporter hosts. Keep up the good work!
