About The Show
What’s it really like to work in architecture? The hosts of Archispeak know, and they’re here to share real-life experiences. Since 2012 architects Evan Troxel and Cormac Phalen have been podcasting their brand of real talk on everything from design, tools, and work/life balance to generational differences, mentoring, job hunting and more. Probing questions, revelatory interviews, and unique insights have grown their audience and become a weekly ritual for students and seasoned professionals alike.

Reviews
"I love this podcast. It's like a design-career therapy session for free."
"@archispk is probably one of the best #architecture #design #podcasts out for the working architect, interior designer or design student."
"...Archispeak is the best podcast in the land as far as I'm concerned. It's like I'm having a conversation with myself. You guys could talk about door hardware for an hour and I'd listen twice. It's great to have you exercise my brain while I'm exercising my body."
