99% Invisible




How Sound show

Summary: r 99% Invisible is my new favorite podcast. A little bit RadioLab, a touch of This American Life, and a lot of Roman Mars, the producer. There's everything to like about the podcast. Each episode makes visible some "in-broad-daylight-but-you-never-noticed-it-until-this-podcast" element of architecture and design. If you're not curious about the built environment -- which is just about everything from escalators to the pyramids  -- then listen to this instead. On this edition of HowSound, Roman talks about a bit about the design of the podcast and podcasting writ large. I should mention, too, Roman's other major audio endeavor, Public Radio Remix. It's a montage of ear candy produced for PRX -- documentaries, sound art, features, podcasts, aural treasures.... Roman's the DJ, if you will. Happy listening! Rob
