Podcasts about midcentury

We love our mid-century houses for many reasons - their enduring design, clean lines and great indoor/outdoor connections. But MANY mid-century homes, both modest and high end, share one glaring omission. They lack of a proper mudroom. This design flaw often vexes my clients and students. Our families and pets come with a whole lot more "stuff" than they did in the 50s and 60s! Let's explore how Mid Mod Midwest has solved the "garage to house” transition problem to offer options for a functional entry that truly works. In Today's Episode You'll Hear:Which entry spot is always the WORST…and is super common in mid-century ranch homes.  How to tuck the storage you need into a modest footprint. When you might want more than one mini-mudroom. Get the full show notes with all the trimmings at https://www.midmod-midwest.com/2202Want us to create your mid-century master plan?

Mid-century homes often have a poor connection to the garage. This is largely due to early building codes and a very real fear of fire and chemicals, which led to a deliberate separation between the living space and the garage. Breezeways, covered but open-air spaces, were one solution to provide a covered path from house to garage. Today, however, our need for convenience and a dedicated space for daily clutter has made the breezeway to mudroom conversion a hugely popular project.In Today's Episode You'll Hear:Why your mid-century ranch was probably not originally connected to your garage. What to consider before you decide to convert your breezeway into a mudroom.  How to determine which type of breezeway conversion could work best for you.  Get the full show notes with all the trimmings at https://www.midmod-midwest.com/2201Want us to create your mid-century master plan?

Documenting what you've designed is a key element to bringing a remodel to fruition.  I could have called the last stage of the master plan method Document.  But I didn't.  I called it Develop.  And that's because your vision is subject to change until the last bit of construction dust has been cleaned away.  I'm taking July off from recording the podcast this summer but that doesn't mean YOU have to. In fact, I'm actually pretty excited about what I've got planned for you.  I took a dip through our deep archives  (did you know we have over 250 episodes recorded) and pulled together some throwback episodes that have great content but may be SO FAR BACK in your podcast feed that you're unlikely ever to hit them.

Your mid-century house, and mine - just like  13 million solid ranches, tidy Levit cottages and charming post and beam homes built across the US between 1945 and 65 - might not strike you as "public housing." But they ARE our country's solution to a housing crisis. Post-war Britain, profoundly affected by the German Blitz and widespread destruction,  embarked on a different path. Their "blitz spirit" of collective sacrifice led to a significant political shift and the creation of a robust welfare state, including a massive program of publicly subsidized housing (often called council housing).  By 1977, nearly half of the British population lived in socially assisted housing, leading to a much less stigmatized view of public housing compared to the US.In Today's Episode You'll Hear:Why the US and the UK took such different post-war housing paths. How these mid-century policy choices are reflected in our current communities. Where we might find opportunities to respond to our current housing crisis in our mid-cenutry neighborhoods.   Get the full show notes with all the trimmings at https://www.midmod-midwest.com/2109.Want us to create your mid-century master plan?

Passive solar design has been around since forever. It just means that a builder makes siting and design choices that use the sun and shade to keep a building warm or cool. What were these choices? In modern times, but pre-HVAC systems, they included locating windows for heat gain or cooling, creating opportunities for air flow, and using the natural environment to shade or shelter homes.Our modern and mid-century homes rely heavily on heating and cooling systems that require power, but we can still incorporate passive solar strategies to reduce our enery use and improve our comfort.   In Today's Episode You'll Hear:Why we stopped using passive solar design. How to get big wins from small changes. Key principles you can use right now to cool your home with less energy. Get the full show notes with all the trimmings at https://www.midmod-midwest.com/2108Want us to create your mid-century master plan?

Do you remember the first person you encountered who validated that your mid-century house was great and that you should LEAN INTO its charm when updating it to suit your own life?  That's such a magical feeling. To realize that you're not alone in wanting to steer clear of the HGTV “paint it white” world.  Today I want to introduce you to one of MY OWN first sources of great Mid Mod inspiration.: Aletha VanderMaasI first “met” Aletha when I was a complete newcomer to the Mid-Century world. Her home, her design project photos and advice were a revelation to me.  She showed me I was not ALONE in thinking vintage mid-century homes could be lovingly updated in ways that felt timeless and still charming.  (She also showed me that it was possible to run a small business providing mid-century design services!)I finally got to chat with Aletha for this week's podcast and we covered a lot of ground!Get the full show notes with all the trimmings at https://www.midmod-midwest.com/2107Want us to create your mid-century master plan?

  We're celebrating May, Historic Preservation Month, with an episode on the Modern houses of the 1950s and 1960s.    Could you live in a glass house? New Canaan, Connecticut's Mid-Century Modern homes designed after the Second War are world famous. In addition to Philip Johnson's Glass House, now a museum, New Canaan has homes designed by Marcel Breuer, Eliot Noyes, Frank Lloyd Wright and Edward Durell Stone. Each one is a part of architectural history and is a masterwork of the era's most talented architects. But by the 1990s, people began to demolish these relatively small homes sited on large lots. People in New Canaan  began to band together to save these artworks-”machines for living”.  Towns across Connecticut have at least one or two good Mid-Century Modern homes worth saving and celebrating.    Host Mary Donohue discusses what a homeowners and community members can do to help save these modern homes. Her guests are Gwen North Reiss, historian and author of New Canaan Modern: A Preservation History published by the New Canaan Museum and Historical Society in 2024 and Mary Dunne, Deputy State Historic Preservation Officer for the Dept of Economic and Community Development and homeowner of an architect-designed,  Mid-Century Modern home.     For more information on New Canaan's Modern houses, order your copy of Gwen North Reiss's book New Canaan Modern: A Preservation History from the New Canaan Historical Society. It has really tremendous photography-a joy if you are a fan of this era!

The exuberantly effervescent Jo Anne Worley, queen of the quip and paradigm of the pizzazz, turns our studio into a cabaret club this week, dazzling and delighting with stories of show biz daring do… her fearless stage style, her bold reach for brilliance, behind the scenes lore from the set of Laugh-In and a fabulous flurry of anecdotes and memories from an unrivaled career.The girl from Lowell, Indiana knew she was destined for the business when she distracted the most vicious teacher in her two-room schoolhouse with a hilarious crack that saved the hide of another student.After high school she hit the ground and then the train running out of her tiny town towards the Pickwick Players and a life in theater, where she literally ate the scenery, salting and snacking on a tomato during a key court scene in The Mikado.  Jo Anne built an all singing and dancing nightclub act because, at the time, women did not talk on stage. Her comic gifts so impressed Merv Griffin's wife, it lead to her frequent appearances with Merv on his show and a chance to audition for George Schlatter, creator of Laugh-In.Her iconic role on that revolutionary sketch show earned her a permanent spot in pop culture and entertainment history and she shares with us some deep insider info: How John Wayne gallantly lifted her down from the joke wall and that time a mime, Marcel Marceau, perfectly impersonated this vocally resonant performer without a sound.No one makes an entrance, or unleashes a song parody or lights into a Bob Hope story like Jo Anne Worley! So strap in for hilarity. What did Jo Anne say to Jerry Lewis to earn her spot in his comedy workshop? What's it like to share a fence with Jonathon Winters? And we've got a rollicking round of IMDB Roulette that serves as a masterclass in the glory days of entertainment. In recommendations--Weezy: Tetris, Apple TV+ Movie and The Tetris Murders doc Series on Max Fritz: Hulu Sitcom, Mid-Century Modern Path Points of Interest:Jo Anne Worley on WikiJo Anne Worley on IMDBActors and Others for AnimalsActors and Others for Animals Ebay ItemsBilly Barnes Bash at Catalina Jazz Club on April 27thRuta Lee's Birthday on May 30thTetris (The Movie)The Tetris Murders MId Century Modern on HuluMedia Path Podcast
