But that doesn’t just mean buildings: Roman investigates the history of everything from cul-de-sacs and subway escalators to monks who make beer. Roman Mars joins Forum to talk about how “99% Invisible” went from an underground pet project to a Kickstarter success story, and why fans call him “the Ira Glass of design.”

Guests:

Roman Mars, host and producer of 99% Invisible, a radio show and podcast about design, architecture and "the 99% invisible activity that shapes or world."
