Featuring Brennan Lee Mulligan, a comedian and host with Dropout TV, and covering the second section of Part 7, chapters 42-46.
This is the 99% invisible breakdown of the Power Broker.
I'm Roman Mars.
And I'm Elliot Kalin.
So today we're continuing part seven, the loss of power, chapters 42 through 46, that's pages 984 through 1081.
And later in this episode, our special guest is Brennan Lee Mulligan.
Brennan is a comedian and host with Dropout TV, where he's the creator of Dimension 20.
It's a show that features incredibly complex and fun and dynamic Dungeons and Dragons campaigns with improv actors and special.
And as the Dungeon Master, Brennan leads these stories.
And I know that might sound completely unrelated to the Power Broker, but one season of Dimension 20 features a villain that all of you listening would be very familiar with in a very different context.
To my understanding, Mr.
Moses is a powerful form of undead.
Robert Moses is a powerful historical figure, never elected, but was part of a lot of government boards, had a lot to do with the building and infrastructure.
York, specifically a lot with the building.
Of roads and highways causing interference in the magical world.
So last time on the 99% visible breakdown of the Power Broker, Robert Carroll went into incredible detail about how Robert Moses refused to include mass transit as part of his transportation plans, and it doomed New York to a future choked with cars and traffic.
And really explicit detail about how awful different railroads were.
It was very vivid.
But we also saw how an assortment of activists were starting to recognize the serious issues with how Moses was running his slum clearance programs and the public housing construction projects.
So that was a little bit of a glimmer.
There were rumors, rumors of rumors.
