This morning I finished "The 99% invisible city: a field guide to the hidden world of everyday design" by Roman Mars and Kurt Kohlstedt. This is a book based on the 99% Invisible Podcast. The book was good and interesting, but I'd heard most of the stories on the podcast, and I like the podcast format better since it's a bit less formal with more banter. I highly recommend the podcast, and I also recommend the book, especially if you're not into the podcast.

You can find more out about the podcast at https://99percentinvisible.org/.

The information on the book in BARD is:

I really like the #99PercentInvisicle ( #99PI ) #podcast

I generally enjoy #RomanMars’ #soothing voice, but this was hard

The episode (540) is called The Siren Of Scrap Metal. It took me on an #audio-only journey through a #Mexican #subculture.

Good stuff, in spite of the #noise

#RomanMars just had me in tears and stitches as he and his guest talked about #Geronimo, the #SkyDiving #Beaver.

99% Invisible

Roman Mars takes us on a journey through urban design that we never noticed. His silky voice entices us to enjoin him upon unexpected journeys. Quite honestly one of the best podcasts ever made
