About the Podcast
UCLA Housing Voice is a podcast hosted by UCLA Lewis Center’s Shane Phillips, housing initiative manager, and co-hosted alternately by professors Mike Lens, Mike Manville, and Paavo Monkkonen. Research on housing affordability, displacement, development and policy is a fast-moving field, with important implications for policy and people. But research findings don’t often get shared with those beyond academia. In every episode, our hosts talk to a different housing researcher to help make sense of their work and how it can be applied in the real world.
