The podcast episodes 'Kia Boys' and 'Lesson 3: Dig In' both touch on the topic of urban segregation, highlighting how it can contribute to the emergence of subcultures and disparities in a city.

The 'Kia Boys' episode explores how economic and racial segregation in cities like Milwaukee have led to the development of the 'Kia Boys' subculture, where teenagers exploit car security vulnerabilities to steal Kia and Hyundai vehicles. This phenomenon is linked to broader sociological factors stemming from urban segregation.

The 'Lesson 3: Dig In' episode chronicles the fight against the Byhalia Connection oil pipeline in Memphis, which was seen as a threat to the local water supply in the segregated southwest Memphis area. The episode references disparities across the city, such as differing life expectancies, that are rooted in urban segregation.
