I listen to 99pi when driving, while at work, and in other moments in-between the daily rhythms of life. It’s hit that wonderful balance between being so well-produced and telling powerful stories about the things we don’t necessarily notice. Thaaaank you Roman Mars and team!
The best
I have been renovating my flat the past few weeks. Nothing better than listening to non-stop 99pi while painting, tiling, and all those other long-hour tasks.
Love the show.
Wonderul. Inspiring. Encouraging.
I am now a willing podcast addict because of 99pi. They introduced me to what brilliant radio format journalism and storytelling is and I am eternally grateful to them for that. They have also changed the way I live in my own world. I go about my daily bussiness like a little detective, trying to spot design and architectural quirks...and fervently reading of every plaque.
