“Amazing show. Watch every show that is posted.
I would appreciate a show on the different types/degrees in architecture e.g. architectural engineering, architecture, interior design etc.
I am aware that it may not be possible but it is just a suggestion! 🤩💪”

“Isolating two host voices on two separate audio tracks makes it irritating to listen to with headphones. Stereophonic hearing is really important to comprehension, so hearing one person in one ear and one voice in the other ear hinders comprehension.”
