A podcast is born! "Archinect Sessions" will be a weekly podcast discussing recent news items and happenings on the site. Hosted by Archinect's founder and publisher, Paul Petrunia, along with Editorial Manager Amelia Taylor-Hochberg, the podcast will also pull on the expertise of special weekly co-hosts, whether other Archinectors or players within the architecture community at large.
Our first episode focuses on the issue of gender in the architecture world, prompted by the recent news post from ACSA, "Where are the women? Measuring progress on gender in architecture". We're joined by co-hosts Donna Sink and Ken Koense, and special guest Lian Chikako Chang!

Thank you, Thayer, that's nice of you to say.
Again, somewhat related: Architecture Magazine used to have a feature in which they went back and visited a project that had won an award several or many years previously. They looked at how the building was holding up and did talk to users to get their opinions. I loved that feature. I do think we should be listening to our users, but also think we need to be able to have conversations that are only intended for those within the discipline.
