New episodes every Thursday —

Room Tone

Conversations about the quiet work behind good things.

Every Thursday we sit down with someone whose work is mostly invisible: bakers, mechanics, printers, sound recordists. Twenty minutes or so, no hype, the real details.

The hosts

Two people, one table, a lot of follow-up questions.

Ada edits, Tomás asks the second question. We record in the guest’s own room whenever we can, because the room is half the story.
