Hosted by Tiffany Owens Reed, it’s all about how regular people have stepped up to make their communities more economically resilient, and how others can implement these ideas in their own places. We’ll talk about taking concrete action steps, connecting with fellow advocates to build power, and surviving the bumps along the way—all in the pursuit of creating stronger towns.","last_synced_at":"2026-07-30T20:18:28.999332+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-bottom-up-revolution-515360"},"episode":{"title":"The First Strong Towns Member","slug":"the-first-strong-towns-member","published_at":"2026-06-15T10:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-bottom-up-revolution-515360/the-first-strong-towns-member","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-bottom-up-revolution-515360","url":"https://littlethings.strongtowns.org/e/the-first-strong-towns-member/","audio_url":"https://mcdn.podbean.com/mf/web/n87xrbysyja5izhn/BUS_6-15-26.mp3","summary":"Nate Hood was the first person to donate to Strong Towns, back when the movement was still a blog, an irregular podcast, and a small circle of people asking better questions about cities. Norm Van Eeden Petersman talks with him about the early days of Strong Towns, the ideas that first made the movement feel different, and what has changed as those ideas have spread across North America. This is a story about growth, but also about why the movement’s power still comes from people noticing what is broken nearby and doing the next small thing.
