Episode 26: Upright: A Brief History of Holding Things Up

A whirlwind tour of columns at their most iconic: capital moments, load‑bearing drama, and centuries of standing their ground. Rae and Andi lean into Greek bulges, Roman rule‑breaking, and postmodern inside jokes.

A good overview of the classical orders can be found on Wikipedia

Episode 25: Flying on Concrete Wings

Rae and Andi dive into the chaos and charm of airports — the security scrambles, the gate‑change sprints, the lost‑passport panic, and the tiny design moments that somehow make it all feel magical anyway. They celebrate the clacking boards, the terrazzo floors, and the jet‑age swoops that turn terminals into portals. They also take on the big question: does a rainforest waterfall inside a terminal count as bold design or just architectural overkill? 

Episode 11: A Night at the Movies

Rae, Andi, and special guest Colin enjoyed a night at the movies in RVA. We went to the historic, beautiful Byrd Theatre to see a French movie from the 1960s you’ve likely never heard of. But it’s really good, we promise! We hope you’ll sit back, grab some popcorn, and listen to our thoughts on Playtime and the joys of making fun of modernism. 🍿📽️
