Former Emeryville Councilmember interviewed on “City Dweller” Podcast
Former Emeryville Councilmember John Bauters, who most recently reemerged in a reality TV appearance, continues to maintain a public profile with a recent appearance on the City Dweller podcast hosted by Jared W. The show describes itself as a conversation series focused on “learning about perspectives on city life.”
In the 32-minute episode, Bauters reflects on his time in office, describing Emeryville as “the meat in the sandwich between the Oakland half and the Berkeley half of the bun,” and revisits his administration’s emphasis on expanding bike infrastructure—efforts that helped earn him the self-styled moniker “America’s Bike Mayor.”
Bauters, who has leaned into consulting work following his 2024 County Supervisor race loss, was recently named a Public Services Fellow at the University of Maryland’s Institute of Public Leadership.
