Always a great listen

Love listening to second studio, specifically for me I appreciate the various topics and interviews with architects who work at many different scales.

Rising star

Love this podcast for the honesty and humanity of the hosts and breaking down some of the myths and realities of the business. It is refreshing to hear about truths about working in architecture without the fussiness. Approachable, inclusive and entertaining — and fun!

Design is energy

This podcast opens a window allowing me to believe humans can live better— and when we are done living, we can leave something beautiful behind.
