LIFE AFTER CARS: An Evening with Authors The Future is Multi-Modal From the hosts of The War on Cars podcast comes a searing indictment of how cars ruin everything—and what we can do to fight back. When the very first cars rolled off production lines, they were hailed as technological marvels, promising convenience, progress, and freedom. But more than a century later, that dream is running on empty. That’s why we need Life After Cars: Freeing Ourselves from the Tyranny of the Automobile. Through historical records, revealing interviews, and unflinching statistics, Sarah Goodyear and Doug Gordon, hosts of The War on Cars podcast, and former host Aaron Naparstek unpack the scale of damage that cars cause, the forces that have created our current crisis and are invested in perpetuating it, and the way that the fight for better transportation is deeply linked to the fight for a more equitable and just society. Sarah Goodyear is a journalist and author who has covered cities and transportation for publications such as Grist, CityLab, and Streetsblog. Doug Gordon is a TV producer and writer who is also a neighborhood safe streets advocate better known online as Brooklyn Spoke. Aaron Naparstek is the founding editor of Streetsblog, a news site that launched in 2006 and is dedicated to what was then called New York’s “livable streets” renaissance. They live with their families in Brooklyn, and they came together to create The War on Cars podcast in 2018 out of a sense that no one was covering the subject of cars and what they do to culture, society, and the planet in the way they felt it deserved. Doug and Sarah continue to host the podcast. For any ADA accommodations, please contact 201-795-5386 or info@jctcenter.org.
