Harry Wakefield, the Editor of Mocoloco.com, alerts us to Ted Wells’ Living Simple: an "audioblog" (each entry is actually a podcast) devoted to a wide range articles on both humanist and modernist architecture and design issues. In between the Richard Neutra and Bradd Pitt-on-architecture bits is an excellent three-part tour of the Greene & Greene in Long Beach exhibit (October 2005 through October 2006) at the Long Beach Museum of Art. I think this may be the first Arts & Crafts podcast!
- part 1: the Reeve-Townsend House
- part 2: the Adelaide Tichenor house
- part 3: enhanced audio & visual tour
note – from Ted’s page, simply pick the "direct download" link at the bottom of each entry, or use that URL in iTunes or other audio player. The sound quality is quite good.
Thank you very much for including me on your great site. I promise there will be more Arts & Crafts podcasts, about one each month, mixed in with other weekly design topics. And I’m open to suggestions for future podcasts. Thanks again. Ted Wells.
