A radio show that invites the audience to explore on foot with two research professionals from the Villes Régions Monde network. Each audio episode presents and introduces themes related to urban studies in Quebec. These episodes are aimed at people from both academic and professional backgrounds. The objective is to establish a dialogue on a current issue, from the point of view of researchers, professionals, elected officials, or artists who are interested, in one way or another, in the city. The participants are people who live in it, administer it, or shape it. The notion of “prelude” thus refers to “getting in the mood,” introducing, or beginning. The podcast series “En guise de prélude” thus wants to play an introductory role and provide an opening to certain urban topics that are close to our hearts.
