“Finally, an architecture podcast that is interested in something other than itself. Khorshid’s end-of-episode “Gumballs” exemplify the spirit of the entire series—a refusal to fall into the trappings of architecture’s often esoteric discourse while maintaining the highest quality of content and...”Read full review »

“From Ebony Magazine, to Bon Appetit test kitchen and Manhattan’s Chinatown, Khorshid transports us across space and time. As a member of the medical community, I look forward to listening to every episode as I commute to work!”

“Full Howz is a smart and refreshing podcast on architecture, design, and everyday life. Rather than the typical interview format of many architecture podcasts, Full Howz is a kind of kaleidoscopic audio collage which approaches its subjects spatially, building a world around the listener in each...”Read full review »

“Just listened to the first episode! Khorshid is so creative in how she explores the entanglement between architecture and certain elements of Iranian culture. She has an incredible way of using imagery to capture a vivid picture of a howz and courtyard in Tehran, and beautifully allows the...”Read full review »

“Hear and listen to a fresh kind of architectural education. We see and touch buildings all of the time, this podcast is a way to feel the built environment through your ears. Architecture schools are stuck in their tried and true precedent images. This podcast breaks out of that mold to bring us...”Read full review »

“This podcast is really fresh.
At times, it’s sharp, educational, ethereal, funny. It’s easy to listen to without feeling overindulgent, and I’d highly recommend it to anybody interested in learning more about architecture — especially that beyond the textbook content which you might come across...”Read full review »

“Full Howz enters into a crowded field of design-focused podcasts. Yet, it stands alone in how deftly the host switches between forms of architectural discourse. Is this rigorous formal critique, rooted in Western epistomology? An unspooling of one person/family/community’s knotted relations with...”Read full review »

“I still don’t quite know what a howz is, but I don’t think that was even the point. What I did learn is what a howz is like; what it did for you, for the guest, and for the people that you were connected to in Iran. All of this is thanks to the format of the podcast; a quasi-audiobook,...”Read full review »

“Refreshing podcast with a keen architectural eye analyzing the rich cultural history and heritage surrounding the Iranian Howz and courtyard houses.. The sensory detail that will always stick with me is biting into a peach that was cooled by the very same Howz water used for dipping one’s feet in...”Read full review »

“I was listening to Khorshid’s first episode when I wasn’t in a great mood, but it brighten up my emotion right away.
It was very sentimental, intriguing and cultural. I always believe something vernacular can be something universal, and the story of the howz proves the point. I love how she...”Read full review »

Fantastic way to learn more about Iran through the lens of...”Read full review »

“This is a gem of a podcast.
I feel like I’m eavesdropping, hiding in the host’s living room, yet I feel so welcome and she’s making me tea.
Thank you for approaching architecture from a refreshed point of view. This already feels like an old friend.”
