Lettus Collective
Lettus Talk is an awesome podcast spawned from the clever minds at Lettus Collective, fueled by the need to speak on topics often censored or overlooked within the planning and design discipline. The nature of the podcast is to be interdisciplinary and fresh, hosted by the College of Environment and Design's very own Urban Planning Graduate students Brett Conn, & Saba Serkhel. Lettus Talk is threaded with insights from professional guests, scholars, faculty, community members, students, and perhaps extraterrestrials (if they ever email us back).
