The wait is over. Chuck Marohn, Strong Towns\u2019s founder and president, is back with an all-new episode of the Strong Towns Podcast!\nThank you to all our listeners who were patient with us during our several-month hiatus. We did share a Greatest Hits series featuring eleven of the best Strong Towns Podcast episodes from the early days\u2014before most of our current listeners were with us\u2014and if you didn\u2019t have a chance to give those a listen, we definitely recommend checking them out. You can find them in the Strong Towns Podcast feed wherever you get your podcasts (iTunes, etc).\nIf you\u2019re a regular listener, you\u2019ve probably caught on by now as to why Chuck took some time off from recording new podcasts. Since last fall, he\u2019s been furiously writing his first real, honest-to-goodness book: Strong Towns: A Bottom-Up Revolution to Rebuild American Prosperity. The book is available for pre-order now, and will be available in stores and online October 1st.\nWe\u2019ve even got some goodies available for those who pre-order. Pre-order details and instructions are here, so go reserve your copy!\nYes, we\u2019ve self-published a few Strong Towns essay collections before, but this is an all-new, full-length work that aims to capture the heart of the Strong Towns message and distill it for a much larger audience than we\u2019ve ever been able to reach before. And we could not be more excited.\nCheck out this brand new podcast to get the full scoop from Chuck, including a number of details that haven\u2019t been shared yet anywhere else. This episode discusses:\n\nWhy Chuck started writing a book years ago, and why he didn\u2019t finish it.\n\n\nHow this one is different. And why he thinks this time, the time was right.\n\n\nWho this is for, and what we hope readers will get out of it.\n\n\nHow we hope the Strong Towns conversation can be your \u201cantidote\u201d to the crazy, overheated rhetoric of national politics as another election season ramps up.\n\n\nA full breakdown of what all ten chapters are about.\n\nMaybe most exciting of all, Chuck will give you a little sneak peek of what we have planned for the Strong America Tour, kicking off in fall 2019. This national tour will take not just the book but the Strong Towns movement on the road in a way we\u2019ve never done before. Chuck will be:\n\nPresenting a brand new presentation, including some \u201cChoose Your Own Adventure\u201d content so audiences can vote on what they want to hear that\u2019s most relevant to their community;\n\n\nSpotlighting local efforts to build stronger towns, and helping local advocates connect with each other;\n\n\nSigning copies of Strong Towns, of course; and last but not least,\n\n\ndocumenting the tour, with the help of Strong Towns staff and volunteers, in a special Strong America e-book to be released afterwards!\n\nWe\u2019re so excited about this. And glad to have you on board the movement to build a nation of Strong Towns.
