Be a guest
Make something? Tell us how.
Half of our guests were suggested by listeners. If you know someone with a workshop, a lab or a strange job we should hear about, including you, pitch them here.
What we look for
You make the thing
Hands on the work: designers, scientists, engineers, craftspeople. Not the company spokesperson.
There’s a story
A problem that took years, a mistake you learned from, a process nobody outside your field has heard about.
No selling
You can mention what you make, but the episode isn’t an ad. Guests never pay to appear, and we don’t take paid placements.
Send a pitch.
We read every pitch and reply to the ones we can follow up within three weeks. We record about sixteen episodes a year, so please don’t be discouraged by a no.
If we say yes
- 1
A 20-minute call to get to know each other. No preparation needed.
- 2
Recording in Philadelphia, at your workshop, or remotely with a microphone we post to you.
- 3
You hear it first. We send the edit a week before release so nothing surprises you.
Thank you.
Your pitch is ready to send. This is a demo, so nothing has gone anywhere yet; once the form is connected, we’ll reply to within three weeks.
