Hi! I'm not Liam
My name is Guillermo Carone, and I am the guy behind this podcast. The voice you hear is not mine, which is why it did not feel right to use my real name, so I created Liam. And why Liam? Because Guillermo in English becomes William, so William Carone turns into wilLIAM CARONe.
Over the past twenty years I have traveled to more than 30 countries and documented more than 320 architecturally relevant buildings. I have shared much of my research on WikiArquitectura and BuildingsDB. Now I am really enjoying exploring architecture through this new audio format.
