Customer Reviews
One of a kind podcast
A phenomenal podcast with two unapologetically unique architects. Their dedication to the profession, particularly its younger members, is almost as profound as their honesty about it. Having their insight guided me through the darkest periods of my final year of school as I graduated in the middle of the pandemic. With their insight - both through regular episode topics as well as providing thoughtful answers to my questions on-air - I have started my career as well as I could have hoped under these circumstances. Thank you and keep up the good work!
Very helpful podcast!!
Thank you for your tips and point a views. It is very helpful from someone who recently graduated with a Batchelor in Architecture. Thank you for answering my question about finding a job during covid.
Amazing content
