About the Host

Seth Tandett Profile Photo

Seth Tandett

Seth Tandett is as solid as the concrete he works with. Based in Richmond, Virginia, he’s been part of teams delivering top-notch structural concrete work across central and southern Virginia—everything from multi-level frames to data centers and federal facilities.

These days, Seth drives business development at Baker Construction while hosting the Concrete Logic Podcast, where he cuts through the noise and gets to the truth about what’s really happening in the concrete industry.

When he’s not chasing projects or hosting the show, you’ll find him studying economics, digging into American history, or sitting in a duck blind waiting on the next flight of birds.

Tune in to the Concrete Logic Podcast and you’ll get exactly what Seth’s known for: sharp questions, blunt commentary, and real conversations about concrete. No spin. No fluff. Just the stuff that matters.

Concrete Logic Podcast

What is the most used manmade material on Earth? You guessed it – concrete.

In each episode of Concrete Logic, we will explore one concrete-related topic with the help of industry professionals that are shaping the future of the trade. We’ll talk with suppliers, contractors, architects, engineers, specialists, and even some proponents of competing materials about their views of concrete and their vision of its future.
