    This is one of the few good architecture podcasts, devoid of the normal vapid self-promotion and promotion of luxury brands that typifies architectural podcasts. This podcast is focused towards people in the AEC industry, and focuses towards the software side of the business. The tone is conversational and easy to listen to. The episodes may be long and can go off topic but the intention is good. The podcaster is a long-term reliable commentator on the technology side of the business.
