This week MinneCulture begins its new regular broadcast schedule: once a week, each Wednesday evening from 7:30-8pm.
On Wednesday, September 11, producer Nancy Skalkos presents an audio documentary on Small Space Living.
Converting a school bus into a living space might sound crazy, but it’s not so far fetched. Small space living has spawned a plethora of websites, books and blogs, as eco-conscious and debt-averse consumers search for alternatives to oversized McMansions.
Nancy Skalkos examines downsizing the American Dream, and talks to Sarah Susanka, author of "The Not So Big House"; WeeHouse Architect Geoffrey Warner; University of Minnesota Housing Professor Becky Yust; and graduate student Hank Buttita, who is converting a school bus into a weekend retreat.
