Hey, it's Manoche. I had a weird experience. I recently went inside a coffee shop without a mask.

It felt very, very strange. I was making sure to stay six feet away from people. I was checking the air ventilation, things I never would have done before last year.

We all experience places differently now. But what about the people

who think about structures and space all the time? That's what our episode, The Power of Spaces,

is about, how people like musician, David Byrne, set designer, Es Devlin, architects, Michael Murphy, and Siamak Hariri,

how they shape space to move us, to change how we experience the world.

It is a great episode.

So please enjoy it for the first time or again,

but with your altered perspective on spaces.

It originally aired in July 2020.

Oh, and meanwhile, I just wanted to let you know it's summer, but the team and I are hard at work on new episodes coming soon and in the fall.

So thanks for being patient with us. And thank you, as always, for being here.
