The rest of this episode takes a look back at the first forty episodes of Archinect Sessions, as we wrap up season one. Each new episode has expanded, and sharpened, our idea of what the podcast can and should be. We\'ve spoken with some pretty heavy hitters, including\\xa0Denise Scott Brown,\\xa0Kevin Roche,\\xa0Patrik Schumacher,\\xa0Tod Williams and Billie Tsien,\\xa0Bjarke Ingels, Thomas Heatherwick,\\xa0Christopher Hawthorne\\xa0and\\xa0Michael Rotondi, as well as some up and comers, like Andr\\xe9s Jaque (winner of MoMA\'s 2015 YAP), Jimenez Lai,\\xa0and\\xa0Nicolas Moreau and Hiroko Kusunoki\\xa0(winners of the Guggenheim Helsinki competition).

It\'s been a blast, but moving forward, we want to tighten up, dig deeper and move the proverbial furniture around.\\xa0We\'ll start up season two in the coming weeks, but while we\'re on hiatus, we\'d love to get your feedback \\u2013 tell us what you think of the podcast by taking this short survey, or rating us on iTunes. Your thoughts will help us shape Sessions\' next season.
