Abe from the U.S. here. Awesome podcast, excellent banter, and I’m really glad you all take time for yourselves here and there. Also thank you for bringing mental health into the conversation with “get construction talking” I feel it’s important. Side note, recently NordStream 2 is being talked about here in the United States and I was wondering if there is anything left to say there. Will it ever be used? Keep up the good work, I appreciate the pod and look forward to it weekly.

Absolutely the best travel podcast out there, and a pretty decent construction one! Whether it’s finding the best way to get to Tokyo, the most efficient journey to Heathrow, or just hearing about some of their favorite nudist beaches, it’s always fun listening to Fred, Kyle, and Liam discuss a bit of construction and life.

nate52- · Aug 2024

The banter of 2000s-era top gear applied to the exciting world of construction. This has rapidly become one of my favourite podcasts. A great way to keep up to date on all the major projects going on around the world and have a laugh at the same time. (Warning: lots of British humour, may not apply universally)

Hi Boyssss, Love love love the pod - Long time follower of the B1M via Youtube and have thoroughly enjoyed the broader context provided by the podcast. The additional projects covered here constantly have me discovering new projects and has kept me informed of fascinating projects outside the U.S. that I likely wouldn’t come across without the podcast. The conversational style is this podcast is well balanced between information and commentary and I look forward to listening every week. The podcast succeeds in covering a variety of interesting projects across skyscrapers, public infrastructure, and just plain silly proposals (I’m looking at you SAUDI). Keep up the great work! Much love from Chicago <3 -John Rollins

I guess they think their being cute, but they’re just not funny. Listening to them mock other cultures with elementary school jokes wasn’t what I was looking for. Was expecting a much better product from B1M having seen their YouTube videos. Very disappointed with the low brow conversation and dismissiveness of some incredible projects. I wanted details and inside info and instead got lame British snark.
