June 23, 2025 · 69 min

This week is the close of a wildly popular exhibition at the National Building Museum in Washington DC called Capital Brutalism, the history of DC’s best Modernist buildings.  With us is Executive Director Aileen Fuchs and head curator Angela Person.  Heading to California, we’ll hear what happened to a couple who went all-in on prefab, which is great, but then their prefab company went belly up, which is not.  Later on, special musical guest Madeleine Peyroux dances us to the end of love.
