Love it

Who knew design and engineering could be so interesting and effective in audio form. Recommended by Radiolab, I was an instant fan of 99% invisible. The episode called "Structural Integrity" still sticks with me now. Also I can claim it’s the first podcast I’ve listened through all over again, from the beginning. With the amount of podcasts out there now, that’s saying something. Highly recommended.
