Meeting And Broad Pod

Host Ben Traywick sits down with key local players for frank, informed analysis of Charleston, South Carolina's growth tsunami and the complicated web of problems and interests it has spawned. How much of the old-school Lowcountry lifestyle remains, and can whatever is left be saved? Private equity developers' deep pockets. Millennials' urban tendencies. The explosion of multi-family development. A new hotel on every corner. Cruise ships. Coastal flooding, beach erosion and global warming. Traffic congestion and parking garages. Suburban sprawl. Strained infrastructure. Soft politicians. Uninformed citizens. The emptying out of the Midwest into the South. Unrestrained government agencies like the Ports Authority and Patriot's Point Development Authority. Zoning ordinances, comprehensive plans, and the BAR. There's a new issue every day: we cover them all.
The Meeting and Broad Podcast provides listeners with information and analysis about the nuts and bolts of what is actually happening with development and growth issues in Charleston: where we've been, where we're headed, and which policies make sense, all delivered through discussions with experts, participants and policy makers in the development, growth and public policy spaces.
