John Ellis is a student in the School of Architecture and Urban Planning at the University of Wisconsin, Milwaukee.
He is also, arguably more auspiciously, a long-time Anarchitecture Podcast listener.
Tim has been working with John over the past few months as an advisor for his thesis project. John was recently given an assignment to record a podcast for one of his classes, and interviewed Tim in a wide-ranging discussion which John's class will be forced to listen to.
