That was fun to listen to, and not just because I was mentioned a couple of times. Considering how many aggregate hours I've listened to Dan talk about PGH and/or discussion groups, it was nice to hear some new angles in this episode, thanks in part to Ryan's thoughtful questions and comments.
This is why I went to the Building Science Forum - to listen to people who were building things and looking for things that worked, and sharing. And yes, I took notes.
I'm really glad that the new PGH book is selling well - but I'm still concerned that we're preaching to the choir and not reaching enough ears.
Dan would be great on Oprah...
