A Podcast for Homeowners, Architects and Fans of Modernism Everywhere

    RALEIGH, NC, October 26, 2015 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Architecture that isn't ponderous and serious? Something fun and perfect for your digital edition!

Six months ago, North Carolina Modernist Houses announced a new podcast series: US Modernist Radio.

Since then, there has been a lot of talking. And some laughing! That's the thing about US Modernist Radio - it's a fun show for the general public, not just architects or design professionals.

Listeners hear history, passion and great stories about modernist design, architects and their work.

THIS 4-minute audio file gives you a preview of the podcast.

George Smart, who founded the non-profit North Carolina Modernist Houses, talks to critic Paul Goldberger, actress Kelly Lynch, Hollywood broker Crosby Doe and Eames Demetrios, grandson of Charles and Ray, among others.

Available on iTunes and Android or PC.

ABOUT NORTH CAROLINA MODERNIST HOUSES

North Carolina Modernist Houses (NCMH) is a non-profit 501C3 educational archive devoted to advancing knowledge and awareness of Modernist residential design. Its three-fold mission is the documentation, preservation, and promotion of residential Modernist architecture.

The organization's website, www.ncmodernist.org, is the largest open digital archive for Modernist houses in America. Withinformation on 6500 Modernist houses, 275 architects, and over 22,000 images and videos, the site contains the complete residential works by Modernist masters such as Wright, Neutra, Schindler, Lautner, Koenig, and others.

To preserve the state's legacy as the third largest concentration of Modernist houses, NCMH filmed nearly 30 original video interviews with North Carolina architects, all available online, as well as special sections on pioneering minorities and women architects active before 1970.

The site contains a vast and growing collection of archived publications, both regional and national, including 50 years of NC Architect magazine.

NCMH created Project BauHow, engaging the next generation of North Carolina architects through giving away hundreds of CAD systems in rural North Carolina counties, systems the students get to take home and keep.

USModernist Radio is NCMH's podcast on iTunes, with interviews with guests such as Kelly Lynch, Paul Goldberger, Crosby Doe, Craig Dykers, Raymond Neutra, Susan Saarinen, and others associated with Modernist design.

The site maintains an exclusive free statewide list of Modernist houses for sale and has helped at least 200 houses change hands to new caring owners.

NCMH is frequently cited as a reliable source for journalists and scholars.
