Doug Ryan Explains It All

Published: Aug. 10, 2018, 6:18 p.m.

In this 13th episode, Charlie’s Angels are joined by Doug Ryan. Doug, the Senior Director of Affordable Homeownership for Prosperity Now, also serves as an adjunct instructor at American University’s Department of Justice, Law & Criminology. In this wide ranging conversation, Doug discusses his experience working in local government, why homeownership still makes sense for a lot of Americans and how bringing new players into the economy benefits everyone. Plus, who is Fudgie the (ice cream) Whale? And is Doug a punk rock guy at heart? Bonus game time: Charlie’s Angels try to stump Doug with true and false facts about manufactured housing (does Kid Rock live in a manufactured home? Should you visit the RV hall of fame? Tune in to find out!). The Angels also mark the podcast’s one-year anniversary and regale the audience with tales of taking former #housingpodcast guests out to eat hot dogs at Ben’s Chili Bowl to celebrate. Many shameless plugs for the upcoming annual conference (#NACCED18!) are made.
