  • Love the show but not the sound!

    Always great content but please adjust the sound quality of host. I listen in the car and have to change volume constantly. Very hard to hear.

  • Great podcast but sound quality terrible

    This is consistently an interesting & useful

    Podcast. I just wish the sound quality was not all over the place. Listening on earbuds I’m frequently adjusting volume up or down from speaker to speaker to theme music. If the sound quality was levelled out it would be a much better listen.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Episode 294: Senior Landscape Architect and TCL Associate Kar Gan on designing Adelaide's award-winning Breakout Creek / Purruna Pari Stage 3
Q: To start, could you please take us back to the beginning of this project and describe the site condition before Breakout Creek, Purruna Pari Stage 3?
The site was a functional but visually unattractive drainage channel with lost ecological and social value; the aim was to maintain flood performance while transforming it into a living creek that supports habitat and community use.
Episode 292: Gabriel Solorzano Torres on why & how MMC can solve the housing crisis
Q: What role does education and training play in unlocking MMC adoption?
Education should equip the workforce with skills for current and future jobs, push for collaboration across national Centres of Excellence and TAFEs, and create structured, industry-aligned programs that merge MMC with traditional trades to meet near-term and long-term needs.
Episode 292: Gabriel Solorzano Torres on why & how MMC can solve the housing crisis
Q: How would you define modern methods of construction MMC to our audience, especially in the context of housing in Australia?
MMC is an expansion to the construction industry—an industrialized approach that broadens capabilities and increases production without replacing traditional methods, and it includes both standardized components and full volumetric solutions.
Episode 293: Sarah Lebner, Director of Cooee Architecture and her stunning award-winning project, The Silos
Q: Can you share what drew you to architecture and how sustainability became such a central and important part of your practice?
Lebner explains that her path combined creativity and science, emphasizing evidence-based design, energy efficiency, and a clear focus on a few core priorities—light, warmth, outdoor connection, and social spaces—that guide every project.
Episode 290: Daniel Jarosch, CEO of the new Sydney Fish Market on the importance of designing for place for commercial buildings
Q: How did you balance the practical needs of a high-performing, zero-downtime logistics operation with creating an inviting public space?
We structured the space with a lower ground wholesale and logistics flow that feeds the retail and dining experiences above, ensuring seamless movement of goods while providing sweeping vistas and public access to the foreshore, dining, and education spaces.
