I’ve been a fan I both these blokes for ages so it was so cool to discover them in a podcast together. Entertaining banter and all things design and architecture. Love it. 😎
Aside from the fascinating and educational conversations, I just love how funny you guys are. Tim being typical Aussie and Kevin being typical British (I presume) the humour works together so well! Bravo
Spectacular rambling performance. Enjoy every moment. Can get enough. Booked to experience the live show in 2026. Thanks.
The warmth, mateship and connection over shared interests between Tim and Kevin make this a wonderful podcast. Inspiring stuff.
As someone who went down the architect route to build my ageing in place home 20 years ago, I’m so enjoying the conversations Kevin and Tim are having with each other and their guests.
