In our first episode on Carlo Scarpa, we're trying something new! We've made a video to accompany the episode that you can find on our <a href="https://www.youtube.com/c/AboutBuildingsCities" rel="nofollow">YouTube Channel</a>, in which you can watch Luke and George discuss the enigmatic architecture of Carlo Scarpa, accompanied by images of the buildings! Make sure you subscribe on YouTube to keep up to date.
This is an experiment, so let us know what you think! We will always put out these main episodes here on the podcast feed, and we will try to keep them accessible to those in audio only. As always, accompanying images will appear on our socials. Thanks to everyone for supporting the show and making this new model possible, do give us a review on your podcast app if you're enjoying what we do.

Yvegeny Zamyatin ‘We’ tr. Clarence Brown (Penguin, 1993)
Aldous Huxley ‘Brave New World’ (1932)
George Orwell ‘1984’ (1948)

‘Shadows’, ‘Fearweaver’, ‘Bindings’ and ‘Demons’ from the album ‘Phantoms’ by Three Chain Links. From the Free Music Archive at <a href="http://freemusicarchive.org" rel="nofollow">freemusicarchive.org</a>
