One long conversation, no format.
One guest, no notes, and nobody gets cut off mid-thought. Ninety episodes in and still nobody has asked me to do a listener mailbag.
What you're getting into
One guest, one hour
No panel, no co-host, no bit. Just the two of us until it's finished.
Thursdays
Every week, and a short off-week episode when a guest falls through.
Lightly edited
Ums stay in. Tangents stay in. Only the doorbell comes out.
Transcripts
Every episode, published the same day, searchable and free.
No dynamic ads
Sponsors are read by me, at the front, and never inserted later into old episodes.
Start anywhere
Nothing carries over between episodes. Pick the guest you like the sound of.
91 — What a piano tuner hears — 44 min
90 — Ninety weeks of this — 31 min
89 — The last person to make this by hand — 52 min
88 — Night shift at the reservoir — 47 min
“I started at episode twelve because of the guest and I've since gone back and listened to all of them, including the ones about subjects I'd swear I have no interest in.”

Chip in for the hosting
There is no paywall and there never will be. If the show is worth something to you, this covers the hosting, the transcripts and the occasional train ticket to a guest.
