Description

Verdigris is a lively wander into the wonderfully weird world of historic preservation, where hosts Rae and Andi dig into the stories hiding in plain sight. With equal parts scholarship and snark, they explore everything from haunted mansards and heroic elevators to the everyday spaces that quietly shape our lives. Their conversations celebrate the odd corners of the built environment while gently poking fun at the field’s quirks. More information, photos, and links are available at verdigrispodcast.org.

Turns out the most universally beloved building type is basically a fancy candle in a stone tube. Rae and Andi cover whale oil, concentric prisms, and the surprisingly emotional case for saving obsolete towers nobody technically needs anymore. Calves of steel required. Hosted on Acast.

Gas stations get a second act: donut shops, roasteries, and beer gardens where the pumps used to be. Rae and Andi trace roadside architecture from Art Deco curves to Mission Revival tile to a baffling Tudor cottage phase (chimneys included) and land squarely in your coffee cup. It's architecture, nostalgia, and a mild caffeine addiction, all in one episode. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
Verdigris goes feral in the Virginian suburbs as Rae and Andi join Gonzalo in his backyard. We talk Chilean courtyards, English cottage organized chaos, suburban lawn devotion, and mosquitoes. It’s history, horticulture, and mild pest warfare—all in one episode. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
A whirlwind tour of columns at their most iconic: capital moments, load‑bearing drama, and centuries of standing their ground. Rae and Andi lean into Greek bulges, Roman rule‑breaking, and postmodern inside jokes.  Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Rae and Andi dive into the chaos and charm of airports — the security scrambles, the gate‑change sprints, the lost‑passport panic, and the tiny design moments that somehow make it all feel magical anyway. They celebrate the clacking boards, the terrazzo floors, and the jet‑age swoops that turn terminals into portals. They also take on the big question: does a rainforest waterfall inside a terminal count as bold design or just architectural overkill?  Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
