Episode 96
Friday, 10 April, 2026

Ryan "The Brickman" McNaught, has the job that every seven year old would dream of, building elaborate masterpieces from Lego brick! Starting out in his garage, he has become one of a handful of Lego Certified Professionals and grown his company, Brickman, into a full-time team of designers and builders with multiple exhibitions on display worldwide. He has recreated classic blockbuster movie scenes, historical architecture and modern modes of transportation; but in his new exhibit Brickwrecks: Sunken Ships in Lego Bricks, he dives into the world of shipwrecks. Now on display at Mystic Seaport Museum, the exhibit showcases ships that have succumbed to the deep retold in mini-figs and hundreds of thousands of Lego brick. Take a listen as we talk with Ryan about his favorite builds and what you can expect to see up close in Mystic.
