Roman Mars is an influential figure in the design and architecture space, widely recognized for examining the unnoticed forces that shape our built environment. As the host of the 99% Invisible podcast, Mars utilizes immersive audio storytelling to explore diverse topics ranging from vexillology to urban ecology. He pioneered the creator-centered podcast collective Radiotopia and co-authored the New York Times bestseller The 99% Invisible City, which serves as a field guide to everyday design. His recent work features a year-long deep dive into Robert Caro’s The Power Broker, providing a detailed breakdown of Robert Moses’ impact on New York City’s infrastructure. Collaborations with partners like Adobe and the team at Vox Media underscore his commitment to high-production educational content. Mars’ signature baritone delivery and narrative focus on the 'Curb Cut Effect' illustrate his ability to bridge the gap between technical architectural history and accessible sociological commentary for a global audience.
