Fantastic show that is both casual yet structured. Guests on the show offer different flavors of the architecture experience, while After Hours segments provide a change of pace with both comical and relatable anecdotes. Highly recommend for those interested in architecture plus more.
Refreshing and inspiring!
What a great podcast. Two young professionals chatting away on all aspects of life & architecture. It’s inspiring, amusing and a great antidote to all the challenges in modern life. Love it!
More Zach Forrest! That guys impressive.
I am compelled to write review to ask why Marina is given little speaking time. Her questions are few and far between but are so much better than that of David's. I hope that David gives Marina more speaking time. David, can improve his questioning style, too. Have the Q's prepared and take turns asking them.
