Great

Only very recently discovered this podcast. I have only listened to two episodes and wow! Really insightful and inspiring. Recommended the Tom Kundig interview to my undergrad students already.

Hanne Stawarz ,

Responsive, refreshing, reflective

A wonderfully candid commentary on the practice, philosophy, and pedagogy of architecture, striking just the right balance between depth and humour. The clear passion and experience of the hosts makes an excellent platform for thoughtful discussion, grounded advice, and engaging interviews with a broad range of highly accomplished guests. Great listening for anyone with an interest in architecture, even for those outside of the profession.

Redandround ,

Limited vocabulary

The credibility of this podcast is destroyed by the male host’s limited knowledge of adjectives. The only one he seems to know is F***ing. Not sure if this for effect or a sign of limited intelligence.
