So one of the things that we talk about and these are the questions that Stephen asked me as we say, sometimes it is just very difficult to stop being a podcaster and start being a guest on a podcast, so here it is.  And that was: 

Why do you do this podcast?

I think that the main reason why I do the podcast, besides getting the word out to everyone about what the architect profession is about and how architects live and work is...... because it is something that I can do that is reasonably economically feasible to do that I have more control over the direction of "the project" ie, "the podcast". I am working towards doing design build where I can do the architectural process and product in a way that I would like to.
