Description

This week, we've got Roma Agrawal in the studio to talk about her life in engineering and how she ended up spending 6 years of her life building the Shard - one of the tallest skyscrapers in the world. We talk about beef with the Burj Khalifa, creating something new in the centre of a huge city, and Oz's history on a teleshopping channel (plus Alex gets dragged for being incredibly pedantic for the last 34 episodes). You can find the first three episodes of Building Stories on the Building Stories website. You can find BUILT in bookshops and available on Amazon. ------------------------------------------------- Music by Grapes & Evan Schaeffer ------------------------------------------------- Follow us on social media and send us your questions!
