  • Fly on the wall (wearing a hard hat!)

    I’m an architect and find this podcast series so insightful. I love hearing about what goes on behind the temporary fencing, and the journey each client and their design team goes on. Amy and Jane have such a way with words and a gentle, encouraging and funny way of interviewing their guests. Always a great listen and you’ll come away having learned so much after each episode!
