99% Invisible
99% Invisible is a hugely popular show exploring "the unnoticed architecture and design shaping our world. "The show's host is Roman Mars, whose rich, mellow voice has the inexplicable power to soothe even the most irritable of listeners. Informative, engaging, and expertly produced, 99% Invisible has the kind of compelling narratives and high production value that can capture the attention of nearly anyone, design-minded or otherwise.
The show sparks curiosity and reflection through the innovative topics it explores: the McMansion phenomenon, unpleasant design, and the origin story of curb cuts are but a few of the niche yet nuanced subjects tackled. Regardless of the topic, there's always something interesting to be learned, and the show's quality – along with Mars' dulcet tones – will be sure to keep you listening.
With approximately 500 million downloads, 99pi is one of the most popular podcasts on Stitcher, Pandora, iTunes and is available on RadioPublic, via RSS, and through other apps.
