Why listeners stay

Less noise. More signal.

Every episode is built to leave you with one idea you can use the same day you hear it.

Unfiltered craft

Real teardowns of how the work was actually made: the dead ends, the rewrites, and the call that changed everything.

Respects your time

Tightly edited, never padded. Show notes timestamp every key moment so you can jump straight to what matters.

A real community

Members swap notes, share work, and get monthly live AMAs with the people we interview. Bring your questions.

Two curious people, one mic

We've shipped products, missed deadlines, and learned the hard way. Now we ask the questions we wish someone had answered for us.

Elena Reyes

Elena Reyes

Co-host · Product strategist

Former design lead turned podcaster. Elena digs into the messy middle of building, where strategy meets the keyboard.

Jordan Park

Jordan Park

Co-host · Engineer & founder

Built two companies, shut one down. Jordan brings the engineer's eye and the founder's scar tissue to every interview.

Frequently asked

Everything you might want to know before you hit subscribe.

How often do new episodes drop?

A new full-length episode lands every Tuesday at 6am ET. Members also get a shorter bonus episode most Fridays where we react to the week in building.

Where can I listen?

Everywhere podcasts live: Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Overcast, Pocket Casts, YouTube, or any app that supports an RSS feed. Tap any subscribe button at the top and pick your favourite.

Is the show really free?

Always. Every weekly episode is free forever. Membership simply adds ad-free extended cuts, bonus episodes, and the community, and helps us keep the lights on without selling out the show.

Can I suggest a guest?

Yes, and we read every one. Use the form below or, if you're a Producer member, drop it straight into the private board. Some of our best episodes started as a listener suggestion.

Do you offer transcripts?

Every episode ships with a full, searchable transcript and timestamped show notes, so you can skim, quote, or jump straight to the part you care about.
