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! 🤩💪

As a mid fifties architect and principal in a small firm this podcast has been very fun and thought provoking. Id never heard of Bob or the show before he came to my local Aia meeting for a presentation and I’ve been hooked ever since. My wife really enjoys some of the shows I’ve shared with her...Read full review »

2 years ago I was losing motivation toward my skill in designing and thought about doing something different til I stumbled upon this podcast I checked mr bob’s work on IG and since then I started to follow him and listen to his podcast’s, great work!

I’m a sole proprietor working in residential. This podcasts keeps life fresh and me up to date with ongoings in the industry. It allows me to check in on aspects I don’t often get to work with and has given me no perspective in the areas I do. This is such a great tool for anyone in the...Read full review »

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.

As an architecture student this podcast is GOLD🙌🏼 thank you guys you are awesome! Love from Israel 🇮🇱

I’m no Architect, I dropped out after a year. I’m now an apprentice builder looking into getting into drafting. This podcast motivates me to pursue architecture and describes all the facets to this interesting profession. Thanks guys!
JamieMarr via Apple Podcasts · New Zealand · 02/14/21
I started listening to the show about 2 years ago, right after I graduated from architecture school! I was missing the silliness and helpfulness of studio culture, and I think Bob and Andrew do a great job of recreating that environment for listeners like me! Much like architecture, the podcast...Read full review »

I came to listen to the podcast after an interview Bob Borson recently did with Erin Reinhardt, and have so quickly fallen in love with this show and all the content that comes with it! One thing I failed to mention in the title is the podcast is also hilarious at times... the fact that ten...Read full review »

I like the fact that you use everyday measures as an example of being an architect. I like how you are truthful😂😂.

It’s very interesting and informative, I’m very glad I found this podcast

Gentlemen, Unfortunately, following your latest installment, I must now finally remove myself, and recommend the same to every one of my students, professional reports, and peers. In your latest evaluation of the the “perception of architects”, the mere idea of discussing attire and architects -...Read full review »

In the latest episode with Building Science Fight Club, it was fantastic and quite relevant to hear how people got their start, found their way, and blazed a trail. It is relevant because I am beginning my career in architecture and it was great to hear that we don't need to know everything....Read full review »

I’ve beed reading the original Life of an Architect blog for years. It’s always been a favorite of mine and I love how the podcast expands on the blog by providing new perspectives from co hosts and of course Bob’s voice himself. The podcast is full of topical information which is clearly...Read full review »

All the useful information that an architect could want with a whole lot of fun thrown in as well. I often point college students and even high school students interested in architect to this podcast.
bradkissler via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/08/20
Thanks Bob and Andrew for making this podcast. It’s really informative and fun at the same time. Keep the good job guys. I really enjoy the hypotheticals.
gallippoli via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/08/20
Although I’m a millennial, I tend to think like Bob and Andrew and always get great advise and a kick out of what they have to say. Great mentors even though I’ve never met them. The podcast helped restore my passion for architecture after grad school sucked it out.
$ketcher0ne via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/08/20
An amazing contribution to the architectural community. As a recent grad this podcast helped me realize professional life post academia. I’m thankful for the practical, thoughtful, and much needed light hearted discussions. Keep it coming!
JHay817 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/08/20
Love getting to hear Bob in the moment after getting to read the blog for so many years. Very inspirational to hear from someone who believes in the pure 'craft' of process, design, and documentation. Sexiest sketches around!Read full review »

I own a small residential design business in Bend, Oregon. Love listening to this Podcast! Very informative topics that are totally relatable. Keep it up guys!
MuddyRiverDesign via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/08/20
Bob Borson adds the wit to the wisdom and his podcast is the “verbal” version of his former blog (of the same name). Young architects will get a real feel for what day-to-day life is like, and us more...ahem...’seasoned’ architects take comfort in knowing we’re pretty normal as we all practice...Read full review »

As an architect of 20 years I can tell you this guy is the real deal. Do yourself a favor and listen if you are thinking of being an architect, are an architect or ever wondered what an architect does. Fantastic!
ret124 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/07/20
Very inspirational yet humorous podcast. Great to get an inside look at thoughts and ideas of an architect.
Romerdyl via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/07/20
A great and invaluable resource for the new and old (experienced!) architectural generations, for the licensed and those pursing licensure, for those in the academic and professional realms of architecture. The podcast is the tip if the iceberg too, their website, blog, social media pages, etc....Read full review »
garrett armentor via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/07/20
I’ve both read the blogs and listened to the podcast since discovering it during my time in school, and it has proven invaluable especially as I’ve started working professionally (and during those long Friday afternoons). Looking forward to seeing you guys at the AIA conference this year!
Rhector63 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/07/20
Education and entertaing to listen to. Also hypotheticals are the best
Brian Benham via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/07/20
These guys rock and I love the hypotheticals!
JackRabbit003 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/07/20
As someone hoping to become an architect I really appreciate these episodes. They give a good glimpse of the profession and as the name suggest, the life of an architect.
Alphatim via Apple Podcasts · Sweden · 02/11/20
This podcast gets a five star “new car smell” rating. Digging the new vibes for a new year. Keep up the great work (and bring back the five star rating outro!).

Kind of ashamed to say I only listened to my 1st Life of an Architect pod cast just now (Nov 2019)! (Although a long time blog reader.....) But the show is good, very good!

As a small architecture office, it can be isolating. Particularly when your partner is only your wife! No offense wife. I recently found this podcast and have been binging through them and they have helped provide insight into the challenges and thoughts of other archtiects. It is a great...Read full review »

This is a fun and interesting podcast that talks about many things that are important to architects. Some of the information isn’t just for architects and many could learn from this podcast even if architecture isn’t something you’re interested in. They also have some fun which makes it...Read full review »

I’m a young, aspiring architect and I find this podcast very enjoyable to learn more about the ins and outs of architecture, design, and a little bit of life.
MAAD Operations via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/02/19
I’m not an architect but I love architecture and also love smart, snarky people. This podcast has it all. One unexpected bonus: Lots of great ideas for architectural landmarks I have added to my to-see list when I travel.

I’ve got this podcast on in the background as I work and I am so happy to have found Bob Borson! He is so authentic and funny-I found myself sitting here smiling to myself.
RozzieGal via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/05/19
Bob Borson is quite literally one of the funniest people I’ve ever met. And one of the smartest. And anyone who has ever had a drink with Bob and co-host Andrew Hawkins knows that they are, individually, experts in their field, smart, professional in what they do, and passionate about...Read full review »

Even tho’ I have been an architect for many (!) years, I still pick up juicy tidbits from Bob and his cohorts. I live in the mountains and the podcast gets me down to Denver most felicitously. It’s like being back in an office (of staff &gt; one, that is) listening to their banter and...Read full review »

Bob imparts a lot of good information but tends to take a little while to get there. While there are a couple moments of nice dialogue, he doesn’t let his cohosts talk much - they mostly seem to be there to occasionally make a joke or LITERALLY repeat whatever he says.
tranteryost via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/02/19
I've been following his blog - which is also great - for years. I was skeptical when he announced he was starting a podcast, but it's even better than the blog! Always informative and entertaining.Read full review »
donrtitus via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/28/19
I am four episodes in and it’s been pretty good, the title life of an architect doesn’t feel quite right tho so far, hasn’t been to much diving into the day to day workflow, which would be cool to hear. Maybe it’ll be in the next few. Am enjoying the conversations and random information.
arthurp92 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/21/19
As a long time follower of the blog, it is good to hear Bob and Andrew talk about becoming and being an architect. It would be fun some day to sit at the bar and talk with these 2 guys.

I have been lucky enough to get to know Bob, he is passionate about his life in design in a way that still makes us laugh and inspire us in ways that make us want to be better designers and humans.

I think there are very few profession more shrouded in mystery and misconceptions than the architecture profession!

As the title implies, if you want to know what the day to day life of an architect is, from...Read full review »
