Verdigris with Rae & Andi

Do you ever wonder why subway tile is so common in bathrooms? Are you flummoxed by bidets? What's your take on pedestal sinks? Join Rae and Andi as we talk all things evacuation and cleanliness while trying not to giggle 🚽🛁

To celebrate spooky season - the best season - Rae and Andi talk all things haunted house-related. What is the most eerie architectural style? What are the best examples and what makes those houses so wonderfully spooky? Get yourself a seasonally-appropriate beverage and join us as we talk about mansard roofs and other spine-chilling features. 👻

How would you define "visual pollution"? In this episode, Rae and Andi tackle the visual blights that affect us all. Where is the line between advertising and art? What's intrusive, what adds to the streetscape? We start by discussing our producer's documentary feature This Space Available and go from there. Join us!

Most mail is spam, or maybe bills. But postcards! Getting a postcard is a joyful little moment, and then you can keep it on your fridge, or your mantel, or a shoebox, and then every time you look at it you get another little burst of joy. So this month, Rae and Andi talk about postcards and share postcards and generally appreciate all things postcard. Hope we can encourage you to send some to your loved ones! 📫

The song playlists can also be found on our website www.verdigrispodcast.org and directly on Apple Music: Rae's playlist, Andi's playlist, Andi's teen daughter playlist. Do you know of some preservation-related songs? If so, please share.

This month, we are going metal! Listen along as we talk all about nails and saws. No tetanus shot required (though make sure you're up to date.) Rae and Andi cover the history of nails from the handmade ones of yore to the ones you have in your toolbox. We also talk about saw technology through the years. If you don't know the difference between a bandsaw, circular saw, and table saw, we're here to serve. And don't forget to wear your PPE if you decide to apply anything you learn.
