The new podcast all about the great structures of the world. Ever wonder how the great modern skyscrapers are erected from the ground up? Or how high is the limit for skyscrapers? This podcast will answer those questions and more on a bi-weekly to monthly basis. Each episode focuses on a structure - or multiple - as I delve into the nitty gritty details about it's design and how it was built.
