We have a very special July 4th episode for you today.\\xa0

Today\\u2019s show offers a very American conversation with the Pulitzer Prize-winning writer Paul Goldberger. The discussion was recorded live at\\xa0Archinect Outpost\\xa0last month for the launch of his latest book\\xa0Ballpark.\\xa0

Ballpark takes a deep dive into the history of the ballpark, and the impact it\\u2019s had on the evolution of the American city. The book looks at a selection of case studies to arrive at a simple yet compelling thesis: \\u201cIn the ballpark,\\u201d Goldberger writes, \\u201cthe two sides of the American character - the Jeffersonian impulse toward open space and rural expanse, and the Hamiltonian belief in the city and in industrial infrastructure - are joined, and cannot be torn apart.

If you\\u2019re interested in a copy of the book, we have a few copies available at Archinect, both in our shop in downtown Los Angeles, and\\xa0online at outpost.archinect.com.\\xa0
