SoapJohnsonGood findIt’s a relief to find a US based architecture focused podcast. There are many podcasts focused on design and related fields, but I love to hear architecture based conversation. And Austin is great! I’ll be listening for a long time!
-
Chad.J.Building better places for livingI discovered Austin and his podcast this week and have listened to half a dozen episodes so far. Each episode has felt like sitting with two really intelligent friends who want to share things that they’ve learned with you. I’d recommend this podcast to everyone interested in improving the their city.
-
Alex HuhnBuilding enduring communities! Great podcast.I’ve been following Austin on LinkedIn for sometime and and have just listened to a couple episodes of his podcasts so far. The episode with Moses Kagan was amazing! It was fun yo listen to two guys who build and invest for the long term and the tactics they covered are priceless.
-
RyanK-patWalking the talkBuilding Culture does a great job of taking the core principles of good town and neighborhood planning and then demonstrating how to actually execute. Well worth the listen.
-
JerGomeHands Down Best Podcast on Building and Place Making.This podcast is great for those who see construction and placemaking as a calling rather than just a career. The guests on the show are very interesting and have expertise on a wide range of subject matter related to building and construction.
-
B. BrownriggWholesome and genuine qualityThis is a great way to learn what Building Culture is all about. Great information and resources to discover what a community should actually look like. Also, a lot of behind the scenes details that explain “the why.” One side effect is that now I notice the numerous poor quality structures all around me…

BP-IndyBravoI can’t express enough how exceptional this podcast is. The content is nothing short of phenomenal—insightful, relevant, and incredibly informative. It provides valuable perspectives for anyone passionate about creating meaningful, beautiful, and lasting spaces. Every episode is a treasure trove of knowledge, offering practical advice and thought-provoking ideas that can inspire and shape real-world projects. I’m truly grateful for the opportunity to listen and learn from such an impactful resource. This podcast is a must-listen for anyone looking to make a difference in the world of design and development. Bravo, and thank you for this invaluable contribution!

The Lodge on Twinkle LaneSo informationalAs someone who stumbled upon this podcast via my admiration of The Bend in Carlton Landing (I was merely trying to find out who built that adorable pocket neighborhood & not at ALL in the middle of this industry or conversation), I have been SO intrigued by this content & left wanting to know more. I’m currently listening to “the debate” episode between Nolan & Chuck and (as someone very much interested in government, policies & politics), finding it all VERY interesting. Thank you for all you do!

Bumble Bee Mom of ThreeInnovative and InspiringAs someone always looking for solutions on a global scale, this show tickles my philosophical fancy.

Snowcone/HaystackYes.I would give it 12/5 stars if possible.
-
HomesteadcraftsmanJust finished binging the whole show!I’ve learned so much from listening to Austin and his guests! Favorite episodes were the las Catalina’s(23), Trillith(20), wheeler district(1) and Trevor acorn(4) episodes!
-
TheOtherRyanRRefreshingGreat podcast about the built environment. Austin and his guests challenge the way things are built and focus on people first. Highly recommend.
-
aarunnerboyReally enjoyable deep divesThis show has been insightful and approachable. I love the long form deep dive and the varied topics that this show presents. I’ve learned a ton but listening in the background.
-
Retail-DeveloperInsightful and InspiringAlways an enjoyable and informative listen about how the built environment and programming of community spaces plays a significant role in our quality of life! Eagerly waiting for the next episode!
-
will.henkeThe real dealI’ve been following Austin’s work since he was a journeyman home builder- honing a craft and putting skin in the game. It’s been incredible to see what his work and company have grown into since then! The podcast is a culmination of years of thoughtful reflection on what makes for a built environment and community culture that open the door to human flourishing. Building Culture punches way above its weight in their contributions to conversations about urbanism, building, health and wellness, community, and sustainability. They really are doing the hard work of creating a culture that supports building AND building a culture that supports living well.
-
DanielCM97VERY Edifying Podcast.Love the ongoing theme of human FLOURISHING. I’ve listened to 5 or so episodes, but I’m pumped to continue down the list. Perhaps one day my wife, family, and I will live in a neighborhood (or even city??) these guys build…keep up the good work. Looking forward to more content!
-
Pennythoughts11Wow!I learned so much in just the first two episodes! Great guests and a great host with all kinds of speciality knowledge who are also easy to listen to. I’m looking forward to more.
