Great guests and eclectic reviews!!
Thank you for the wonderful podcast, the interviews are so good and provide so much information. I’ve read many books and toured many projects over the last 30 + years but this podcast has provided such a full and evocative picture on the People, context of so many great known and lesser known projects.
Keep up the great interviews, have passed on many to my architect, developer and friends who enjoy mid modern!
Thought I’d give this podcast a second chance, but nothing has changed. The hosts are smug, the music is annoying, and while the guests are great, too much time is spent on tangents. Do I really care what a British architect thinks about American football? No. I care what the British architect thinks about midcentury modernist architecture.
Brewers daughter doesn’t seem to be that interested or cares much about her father and it is very transparent there is A LOT OF UNDERLYING TRAUMA AND……Not said
Hate the music. Would raise rating to five if the music was gone.

Interviews and stories explore modernist architecture through the buildings, people, and communities that shape it. Architects, critics, historians, preservationists, builders, owners, and authors discuss landmark homes and civic projects, regional design histories, restoration, architecture education, and the debates surrounding preservation and demolition. Host George Smart brings a preservation advocate's perspective, while recurring host Tom Guiled also appears in the interview lineup. Episodes typically combine several conversations with a musical guest, creating an informal, wide-ranging format that connects architecture with film, music, urban life, and cultural history.
