A Matter of Place
A Matter of Place with Jeff Siegler is an exploration of the places we shape, and how in turn, those places shape us. The built environment has a tremendous impact on the lives we lead and people's overall health and well-being. It's a topic that receives far too little attention considering the outsize impact our surroundings have on our lives. Episodes will alternate between Jeff's experiences working in the Place Industry and interviews with those people dedicated to improving the conditions of our built environment.

Third Places with Rik Adamski
In this episode, Rik Adamski joins me to discuss third places. Rik is the President of the planning firm Ash + Lime out of Dallas, Texas and he spends a lot of his time thinking about the places where we spend our time. Rik is a firm believer that we need to develop more third places. These are the types of places outside of work and home where people can go to experience more of what makes us human. Third places provide people with a chance to experience a sense of community and hopefully allow them to feel more civil and civic, the types of places where people can go without an agenda and remain without pressure to purchase. These places are the glue that holds communities together but have been abandoned much to the detriment of the civic realm and community attachment. Join me as Rik and I discuss why third places matter.
