Host recording in home studio

A show for the long form, on purpose.

Recorded weekly since 2019. No talking points. No producer-fed questions. The conversations go where they go. Sometimes that's a 90-minute riff on a single idea; sometimes it's a tour of someone's life.

Listener questions

When do new episodes drop?
Tuesdays at 6am ET, wherever you get podcasts. Full transcript and show notes posted the same morning here on the site.
Are there ads?
No. The show is listener-supported via a Patreon and the occasional live event. The trade-off is the episode is whatever length it needs to be.
How do you choose guests?
A combination of "people whose work I keep coming back to" and "the conversations I haven't heard them have anywhere else." Open to listener suggestions.
Can I pitch to be on the show?
Yes — the pitch email is in the contact section. The honest answer is the booking calendar runs about nine months ahead and most slots come from the existing host network.
