America is divided, and it always has been. We're going back to the moment when that split turned into war. This is Uncivil: Gimlet Media's new history podcast, hosted by journalists Jack Hitt and Chenjerai Kumanyika. We ransack the official version of the Civil War, and take on the history you grew up with.

In episode four we explore the theme of getting lost. First we meet Edmonton’s pedway "rat" and get lost with him—literally—in a mall, thanks to poor wayfinding. Thankfully we had some extra cheese. Next, we explore lost ambitions as we ride an LRT line back in time. In 1978, Edmonton built commuter rail into its northeast suburbs and dreamed of transit-oriented development (TOD) stacked beside the rails. Then, well, not much happened. Today, the original line is a story of ugly storage yards and industrial wastelands, not housing. We ask: How did one of Canada’s fastest growing—and sprawling—cities forget to build TOD?
