it's about frank furness

As a regular cigar smoker I would suggest drinking coffee while smoking a cigar as it makes that weird ash tray taste in your mouth and throat largely go away while you're smoking it. Also, 1 minute or at least 30 seconds between puffs is a good way to pace yourself and not die LOL. Also, starting off with a lighter cigar with a Connecticut shade wrapper is a good place to start.

this might be my favourite bonus episode. i would listen to five more hours of the wild adventures of frank furness. or just november doing well-researched roasts of civil war guys. ........oh man you guys should totally do a whole ep on the confederate submarine that kept on killing its crews

Loved this one (and all of them) but daaaamn. Gold here.

So both Frank Furness and Frank Lloyd Wright were Unitarians, but not Frank Gehry, so that's another discontinuity. Maybe the next Lou will be one to bring back balance.

I wasn't familiar with Louis Sullivan in any way more than I recognize his name, but hearing the term "Jewelbox Banks" made me think of, years ago, on a road trip, I saw a beautifully ornamented bank, bedecked in all sorts of tiles, in Newark Ohio that, to my memory, strongly resembled a jewelbox. So, I do a bit of googling, and sure enough, it was a Sullivan! Just a really cool connection to make so many years later.

Bruce Goff = Femboy Futurism

I've finally reached the pinnacle of WTYP fandom - being on the receiving end of an actionable threat. You'll have to take my jacket from my dead, cold, extremely stylish body Alice.

2:33:30 - the frosted glass floors were part of a modular high-density shelving system that made the shelves themselves the load bearing structure for the floors. London Met. Library still uses a system like that.

The sanctuary has incredible acoustics and is a beautiful place to see the appropriate show. The basement is still a punk venue that is BYOB, just no glass.

Also, for a future architect bonus episode how about Will Alsop? The guy who proposed the first iteration of "The Line" (q.v.) concept- except his version was built around the M62 motorway.

"It's not even the right type of Victorian Gothic at H***y P****r World"... Not only that, but when she who shall not be named came up with the daft "Platform 9.75" idea she was actually thinking of Paddington Station, not King's Cross.

I'm glad to hear Alice is a Spy x Fam fan

the story of Furness at Trevilian Station reminds me of the scene from "Band Of Brothers" where Captain Speirs runs through the German lines, links up with the other company, and then runs back through them again to his own company.

PIve played whole free episodes to unwitting patients and my long suffering partners on long ambulance transfers. Would love an rss of the patreon DEVON i love yoose all but especially DEVON xxooo DEVON, HONEY, AN RSS!

Is there a xml or similar for podcatchers of wtyp patreon? Long time listener but new to the patreon sorry if this has been asked already. Love yoose leg ends xx

I love when June is a guest/co-host, she knows a lot and has such a calming presence.

Some idiot took your "heavy bicycle" jokes too seriously and built a 2.18 ton "bike": https://www.spiegel.de/panorama/tueftler-aus-sachsen-anhalt-baut-schwerstes-fahrrad-der-welt-a-44599846-4812-499d-9ace-eb6a43a27e6f

Super excited to learn that Frank Furness designed the Yharnham grand cathedral

There is in fact a weird architecture conspiracy called Tartarian. It’s very stupid. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/features/2021-04-27/inside-architecture-s-wildest-conspiracy-theory

I LOVE when Alice talks about the venture bros

We’ve got one of them Muslim churches for the Jews in cincinnnsti

The Architectural Archives in the basement have the Ed Bacon collection including the update report log the Philadelphia mayor made all his departmental heads send to him each week and as you can imagine Ed really liked having to do that cataloging the various people and things in the way of advancing his projects.

Roz, you just need a photo ID to get into the Penn Libraries during the weekdays. Hmu if you want to try to see the Furness stacks. https://www.library.upenn.edu/page/access-and-visitor-information

Funnily enough I just reached out to the Penn Academy of Fine Arts about photographing their building with my 8x10" camera the other day. hopefully I get to be more intimate with a Furness Building.

7:25 The Louis al Gaib if you will.

Love the Furnace Party reference 👌

What I'm hearing from the discussion of independence mall is they should put it back the way it was

So glad I wasn't the only one thinking Scrooge McDuck would be in full cast traction after jumping into his vault of gold coins.

Fur-ness

Frank Furness is the guy that invented the furnace

Let's put it this way, if someone drops "Never have I ever had sex in a church," it doesn't count and you don't have to drink if it was Unitarian. You can totally do a WTYP show there.

We love you, Devon

Going off the topic of recurring characters from the pod, Is is Isambard Kingdom Brunel on the list of bonus episode topics?

i have one of the orange jackets and it's a bit too small for me because i was in too much of a rush to order it

Furness invented the weird-shaped orange and green eyeglasses favoured today by trendy German architects.

Fuck yeah, 3 hours of content about someone Roz likes.

About unitarianism : you guys should go check out the First Unitarian Church in Philly... I don't know what they believe in, but they organize some damn good punk shows in that place.

Ahhhh on the Southwest Chief heading east for the next ~24 hours. Hopefully we stay close enough to civilization I can watch this

Yes, my great great grandfather did say that about Alice. Paul hated corn but loved Alice's work.

Smoking an appropriately silly cigar to this episode - a Rocky Patel Connecticut Howitzer - high hopes for this one

Wow it's a long one

The Furness refers to that fucken rug on his face

3 hour runtime hell yeah

I mean.. A locked video is better than a video with these shitty audio glitches and text inserted randomly.
