John King, the architecture and urban design critic for the San Francisco Chronicle, journeys east to describe many examples of contemporary California Architecture and explain why California's reputation for cutting-edge design is deserved or not.

Very cool. Good to see the updates coming.
I love ArchitectureRadio, but not this talk.
Maybe OK for non-architect, general public, but not very interesting or enlightening for most architects.
The one on the design development of the Bahai Temple was my favorite.

I can appreciate what you're saying. Please bear in mind that AR is directed both toward the architecture community and the general public. For the moment, everything is mixed together in our crappily designed site, however I hope to split things into concurrent streams at some point in the future so that the pros and public can get content appropriate to their needs and level of expertese.
Toshiko Mori is coming up next month. I expect that may be more along the lines of what you're interested in.
Also, John King has been more focused on arousing greater populist interest in good design in architecture-conservative Bay Area, where the professional languages are typically dismissed or readily misunderstood....
