McMansions

What were they thinking? A generation of homeowners have splurged on huge houses that are ugly, bad investments and an ecological disaster. In this episode, David and Grace dig deeper into the myopic belief in "bigger is better" when it comes to housing. Along the way, we venerate a millennial hero, chart the growth in suburban square footage, make connections between big houses and hostile public spaces, and initiate the legacy of "Golfie," a mysterious Scottish beast responsible for golf courses.

Grace Todd and David Timberline are your tour guides through this ongoing investigation of cultural artifacts from our collective recent past with a unique intergenerational spin. We're convinced you'll have a great time listening to Convince Me I Care.
