Commuting Culture

It takes longer and longer for Americans to commute to work these days, but while many regard commuting as a neccesssary evil, there are those who relish it as “me-time”. We’ll look at how technology, attitudes and expanded travel times are changing our commute, dig into the results of NHPR’s project on the subject and see what Granite Staters think. Laura's guests are Jon Greenberg, Executive Editor of New Hampshire Public Radio and facilitator of the Drive and Ambition project and David Levinson, Professor of Civil Engineering for the Center of Transportation Studies at the University of Minnesota. We'll also hear from Jaime Kitman, New York Bureau Chief for Automobile Magazine, U.S. editor and a columnist for the British magazine Top Gear, Member of the Society of Automotive Historians and contributor to several magazines, including GQ and the New York Times.
