‘Listening to music’ sounds familiar, but what if you could ‘listen to architecture’? Podcasts are a great tool for architects to expand their knowledge and keep up to date with design trends, with the flexibility to listen anytime, anywhere. Podcasts offer a variety of insights in an easy to understand way. By listening to conversations about design, you can learn about different perspectives and ideas on a particular topic.

In the past decade as music apps have captured the spotlight, podcasts too have integrated themselves into our lives effortlessly. With a quick connection of a headset one can listen to endless content while traveling, while working or even in the comfort of their bed at home. Architectural design, despite its tactile nature and visual format, can also be presented in the form of an audio. For architects, podcasts are an unexplored ocean of possibilities.
