Testimonials
Ian Keough, Founder and CEO of Hypar:
We benefit hugely from Evan being a kind of a megaphone for this stuff in the industry. The number of people that have told me “I've listened to you on the TRXL podcast, it's incredible.” So please keep doing what you're doing.
Jerry Battaglia, Director of Information Technology, Hord Coplan Macht:
I look forward to each episode of the TRXL podcast. It keeps me informed on the latest in design technology and its intersection with architecture, even as an IT professional.
Johan Hanegraaf, Co-founder of Arkio:
Your podcasts and guests are among the top of our industry globally and it's been an absolute joy to listen to them.
John Manoochehri, founder of Treasury:
There's only really one conversation that matters when it comes to the co-evolution of architecture and technology: that's Evan Troxel's TRXL podcast. He speaks to architects, designers, writers and technologists as a fellow practitioner—but also as a confidant and sounding board. This means evolution in daily workflows, all the big turning wheels of epochal change - and the personal narratives linking them - are revealed. There's nothing else like it, and it's essential.
John Marlow:
On TRXL, Evan has all the conversations that I wish that I could have, with the people I wish I could have them with - bring something to write with, you're going to want to take notes. Thank you for this.
About the name
TRXL is Troxel — my last name — without the vowels. Pronounced troksl.
Why this show?
Architecture's future is being written right now by a small number of people with real conviction. I wanted a place where those conversations could happen in the open — unscripted, long-form, and accessible to anyone in the industry who wants to listen in.
