	Description:		Not many people like to think about traffic but Joanna Oda says this very topic on IDEAS in 2005 inspired her as an ER doctor. "It helped me understand how things that make sense for you as an individual contribute to a collective problem." And she adds, she often finds herself quoting the episode to others: "fixing traffic congestion with bigger roads is like fixing obesity with bigger pants. It might feel better in that moment but we actually haven't solved the root of the problem." This episode is part of a week-long celebration to mark our 60th anniversary. IDEAS is giving the mic to listeners like Oda to share their stories on how our show led to life-altering moments.
