Standing Up for Sitting Down

If you’re lucky, it’s possible you’ve never thought much about sitting. In today’s episode, Slate’s Dan Kois tells us about his radical experiment to go without sitting for an entire month. For some of the background on hostile architecture, we are indebted to the late Mike Davis’s book, City of Quartz, and in particular Chapter 4: “Fortress L.A.” Check out Dan Kois’ New York Magazine article about his exploits, “Sitting Is Bad for You. For a Whole Month.” If you haven’t please yet, subscribe and rate our feed in Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts.
