    The difference in sound volume could almost make you go deaf. 25-30 % Mr. Timothy.

    Such a coruscating take on the vagaries of architectural and architectural theory fashions and vanities.

    Any chance that this can be reposted with the audio fixed?

      Hi Kyle, unfortunately CZcams doesn't allow that as far as I can tell. I fixed it on the audio only versions though so head over to Spotify, Podbean or Apple Podcasts for that. :)

    Why do two people having a conversation in a room need to wear headphones?!

    Good apart from the audible flatulence.

    Bruce dear,
    What a joke this recording is! Do you review anything you "produce"? Is this a reflection of your architectural technical skills also? And how does Mr Brittain-Catlin feel about this public exposition of his ideas?

    • @bucklandarch
      @bucklandarch  Před 3 lety +7

      Yeah, I had no idea what I was doing when I recorded this. Ah well, better to try and fail than never try at all. :)
