01
Not a success story
We are not interested in the tidy arc where everything turned out to mean something. We are interested in the part that has not resolved.
The podcast
The Unfinished Conversation
Most interviews catch someone after they made it, looking back from safety. This one catches them while it is still going.
Status
We are recording the first one.
There are no episodes yet, and we would rather say that than pad this page. The pilot is being made now. If it earns a second one, it becomes monthly.
What this is
A conversation with someone mid-thing.
The rule is the same one the rooms run on: bring the version with the bad parts still in.
02
Longer than is fashionable
Honest answers usually arrive after the rehearsed ones run out. That takes time, so we leave it in rather than cutting to the highlight.
03
No promotion
Nobody comes on to launch something. If a guest has a thing to sell, that is fine, but it is not why they are here and it is not what we will ask about.
04
Written down as well
Every episode gets a full transcript on this site, so the words can be read, searched and quoted without anyone having to press play.
In the meantime
The rooms are already recorded.
Talks from The Beta Series, where this whole idea came from.

From the first room
Come on the show
We are looking for people mid-thing.
Not a finished story with a lesson attached. Something you are still inside, still deciding about, still slightly wrong-footed by. You do not need a perfect ending, and you do not need to be anyone in particular.
Where it will live
Wherever you already listen.
Links appear here the day the first episode does. The list is the only reliable way to know when that is.
