"Over the years I've done many media interviews and it is difficult to surprise me with original questions, but Ilana did! Our interview was one of my most memorable ones and I loved not only Ilana's deep engagement with her show's themes and my work, but also her quick wit and responsiveness, and her rare ability to put her interviewees at ease while at the same time challenging us intellectually."

"I loved joining Ilana on Radio Architecture. Her interview was intelligent and thoughtful. She was so professional in her approach and research in preparation for my interview. And she asked some surprising questions that made me think laterally about my work! And I have continued to think about my body of work. Thanks Ilana!"
- Dr Deborah Leiser-Moore, Director & Theatre Maker.
"I was a guest at Radio Architecture interviewed by the wonderful Ilana Razbash. What makes the experience memorable is Ilana Razbash. The curated questions, the calm and intelligent responses and Ilana's professional demeanour ensures that people’s voices are being heard clearly and legibly from a technical, cultural and personal position. This interview was so memorable for me, I was able to talk about and advocate for a topic so close to my heart, Food Design. The platform gave me a safe place to explain this relevant discipline, with Ilana’s follow up questions giving me room to explain its relevance to Australia. Radio Architecture is a great platform and a knowledge depository that is documenting the history of Victoria and of Australian architecture, and design one speaker at a time to local and international audience."
