  • A little of this and that

    Best building science related podcast, period. The geek factor is off the charts, but these two still keep it entertaining. If you want to learn about the green side of building, the podcast is a must. Glad to see they are back at it. Just wish it was more than a monthly event.

  • Great resource for anyone interested in Green building and building science

    I discovered this podcast several years ago and I love it. They were on hiatus until recently and I was super excited to see that they’re back!

    I like their humor and inclusion of drink recipes which make their show fun.

  • Very Informative with a Fun Twist

    I'll start by saying my background is not in architecture, however I LOVE processy, industry, discussions, especially in a casual & fun format. Chris & Phil really deliver on their stated mission “like going to a bar with architects in a forum session…” A very valuable show to anyone in the industry looking to stay current in their feild in a fun way:)
