GĀBL MEDIA AND NCARB PARTNER TO LAUNCH “INSIDE NCARB BY THE NUMBERS” PODCAST, SPOTLIGHTING THE FUTURE OF ARCHITECTURAL LICENSURE May 5, 2025  CHARLOTTE, N.C. – Gābl Media, the leading multimedia platform serving the built environment, proudly announces its collaboration with the National Council of Architectural Registration Boards (NCARB) to launch a powerful new podcast: Inside NCARB by the Numbers. This limited-series podcast, hosted by NCARB Vice President Andy McIntyre, brings to life the human stories, challenges, and data-driven insights shaping the journey to architectural licensure.   The six-episode series builds on NCARB’s widely respected annual data publication NCARB by the Numbers, offering listeners a deeper understanding of how policy changes, pandemic disruptions, firm culture, and evolving demographics impact the path to becoming a licensed architect. From newly licensed professionals to thought leaders in regulation and education, each episode explores how the profession is striving toward greater accessibility, equity, and relevance. “This partnership with NCARB reflects our mission at Gābl Media: to elevate the stories and people that shape the built environment,” said Mark R. LePage, CEO of Gābl Media. “Inside NCARB by the Numbers is more than a podcast—it’s a knowledge bridge that informs, inspires, and empowers the next generation of architects.”   Gābl Media’s role included creative development, production, and distribution strategy—ensuring that the stories shared reach the audiences who need them most, from students and licensure candidates to firm leaders and policy influencers.   “We found alignment with NCARB behind the belief that knowledge sharing becomes more powerful when connected to real human experiences,” said Dimitrius Lynch, Chief Creative Officer. “Through honest conversations and expert insights, this podcast brings essential transparency to the licensure journey. It’s a bold step toward demystifying the process and sharing how NCARB is actively working to open doors for those historically underrepresented in the profession.”   Each episode dives into timely themes such as the lasting effects of COVID-19 on licensure, support for English-as-a-second-language candidates, generational shifts in the profession, and NCARB’s strategic changes to the Architect Registration Examination® (ARE®). The podcast also showcases how test prep innovations—like free practice exams—are significantly improving pass rates and reducing barriers.   Inside NCARB by the Numbers is now streaming on major platforms, including Apple Podcasts, Spotify.
