I don’t know of another podcast or content platform that can mix extreme professionalism, high entertainment value, and true authenticity in the way this show does. It says a lot that to speak truth these days is considered brave. The bravery is greatly appreciated. Learned a lot from them and...Read full review »

Love listening to second studio, specifically for me I appreciate the various topics and interviews with architects who work at many different scales.

Love this podcast for the honesty and humanity of the hosts and breaking down some of the myths and realities of the business. It is refreshing to hear about truths about working in architecture without the fussiness. Approachable, inclusive and entertaining — and fun!

Loving this podcast, especially as a designer two years into her career! Such relatable content. Wondering if you could cover the topic of unrealistic deadlines and the pressures to meet them/best way to tell your boss or client you need more time.

This podcast opens a window allowing me to believe humans can live better— and when we are done living, we can leave something beautiful behind.

Only very recently discovered this podcast. I have only listened to two episodes and wow! Really insightful and inspiring. Recommended the Tom Kundig interview to my undergrad students already.

The second studio really starts you thinking. It can inspire new ideas. I would love to hear more from the female host, it seems like the male host takes over the conversation.

I also don’t agree with the policy of asking listeners to write a review of the podcast and email the review to the hosts for a chance to go in a raffle for a prize. Stitch up

I’ve been listening to the Second Studio for years (back when it was still the Midnight Charrette) and highly recommend it for students looking to practice. Back when I was applying to schools, they were my main resource since I didn’t know many architects personally. I was able to learn about...Read full review »

Just began my professional career in architecture and these guys have been so much fun to listen to along with being super helpful! Keep doing what you’re doing! Definitely recommend!
fruiz101 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/30/22
I’m currently an architecture masters student and I’ve been searching for an engaging, well put together podcast about architecture for years. This is it, Marina and David cover a wide range of topics and provide valuable insight. Wish I would’ve found it sooner!
Potopal via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/29/22
It’s relaxing, genuine, fun podcast to listen after work. Especially while cooking.
MingJ-Y via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/25/22
David and Marina are both fantastic hosts! What really sold me on the show, however, is the guest interview series in conversation with the some of the most interesting and prominent architects and designers today. I especially love the episode with architect Mark Lee and Photographers Iwan Baan...Read full review »

I came upon this podcast in the last year, and have been binge listening whenever I can. The topics are always interesting and current, the conversation is casual yet informative, and the guest list is broad and impressive.
Cal Hobbes via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/23/22
As a recent graduate, it’s nice to hear things that are real and practical.
dfjsijkk via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/23/22
As a third year architecture student, this podcast has been super informative and inspiring for my future. It’s a lovely blend of casual, informational, and serious. I don’t plan on dropping this podcast ever!
dilpickle01 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/19/22
I’m an architecture student and love listening to this podcast! I look forward to the new episode every week. It’s great to hear what to expect from the profession when I graduate and I’ve started listening to the after hours episodes during late nights in studios. The after hours episodes are so...Read full review »

Wow. The things that came out of the mouth of David. Get some therapy man, you’re so apparently projecting your own insecurities. Please don’t make such gross and broad statements based on assumption and ignorance. As someone who works in such a demanding field you should recognize the toll it...Read full review »

The podcast covers so much ground in architecture, design and art. The guest list is impressive and includes designers with different profiles. Perfect to listen on my ride to work!
Julie_Lvqs via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/09/21
From a Nigerian young architect, I’ve found home. The fact that architecture is a universal language is proven with this podcast. I relate so well to what’s being talked about and I’ve barely been here. To anyone looking for a podcast that speaks on the culture around Architecture, try here....Read full review »

This podcast will not lead you astray. I’ve been listening to Marina and David for a few years now and have enjoyed every episode. They have great guests and are both knowledgeable and entertaining. They seem like they would be great to hang out with and maybe even bring home to moms.
Bob Fahrenheit via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/08/21
David and Marina are genuine and transparent within their solo episodes, yet incredibly respectful, informed, and professional with their invited guests. The amazing speakers they have reflects the quality of the podcast, and as a student, the discussions have crafted a lot of my philosophies...Read full review »

The greatest architecture podcast out there. The guests that they have on the show are always extraordinary. The hosts are always funny and don’t censor themselves - opening up to interesting and stimulating discussions.
Compton baby. via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/07/21
My undergrad professor recommended this podcast a few years ago and I’ve been listening ever since. It’s fun, interesting and educational. A great listen for anyone interested in architecture and design
am-park via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/01/21
I love this show. It’s very relatable and interesting to listen to. It’s really nice to be able to listen to a show that is a mix between funny, interesting, and educational! I feel like both architects, students, and honestly anyone within the design industry.
TPOH1238;9 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/30/21
Good mix of interviews with top designers working today, and advice for students and fellow designers on a variety of topics. David in particular is a good interviewer. He could probably tone down the use of the f-word in some of the design companion episodes- its use is, as he might say, lazy
sam citizen via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/30/21
I had to turn you off after about ten minutes of listening to you both trash EVERY aspect of your misadventure. So much negativity. You’re both snobs of the worst kind. You were mean. Yes, America is ugly and full of pathetic, sad, uneducated, unenlightened people who have never been to “Paris”....Read full review »

I recently found this podcast looking for more information about Architecture and this has helped me so much. I’m on the path to receive my M-Arch (no where near being done) and I will continue to keep coming back to listen to you two. Keep up the great work!
A-MCR via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/10/21
The credibility of this podcast is destroyed by the male host’s limited knowledge of adjectives. The only one he seems to know is F***ing. Not sure if this for effect or a sign of limited intelligence.

In the hundereds of archi podcasts, the one that has clarity of thought, great content and a good sense of humor. Thank you for doing such an amazing job of asking the right questions and creating narratives that are positive. Wish you lots of success
Archi_div via Apple Podcasts · India · 03/25/21
I’m applying for M-Arch programs with a non-design background. I found this podcast in my research - and it is my new binge. The conversations are so smooth, informative and unpretentious. It’s an easy listen for all levels of interest in architecture & design. Très chic, bien sûr.
Em0102 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/03/21

A phenomenal podcast with two unapologetically unique architects. Their dedication to the profession, particularly its younger members, is almost as profound as their honesty about it. Having their insight guided me through the darkest periods of my final year of school as I graduated in the...Read full review »

Listening in from kenya. This is an informative platform to help shape other architects. Keep up the good job.

I enjoy these two!! It is so amusing to hear them talk and being genuine to themselves. Sometimes podcasts are just to put a face and being sensitive to the audience.

I’ve been listening to the podcast for over 2 years, so it may be a terrible reflection on myself that I’m rating this podcast 2 stars.

Always enjoy David and Marina’s endless rants! I particularly enjoyed your interview of Chris Do—really well done!

What San Francisco podcast on architecture used the word “ghetto” two times in half an hour, and all of this before their discussing anything having to do with the subject of the podcast?
