Long interviews with record producers.

Producers decide how a record sounds, and almost none of that work gets written down. What survives is the press-cycle interview, which is about the release rather than the craft.

Producer Radio sits down with producers, records the whole conversation about how they make records, and publishes the talks.

How It Operates

3 System Phases

Sit down with the producer

One conversation, with the person who made the record.

Record the whole thing

The talk runs as long as the subject is worth.

Publish the talk

The conversation goes out as it was recorded.

Core Capabilities

Long-form conversations

Room enough to get past the first answer.

About the work

How the record was made, not who it was made with.

Published in full

The talks go out whole rather than cut to a highlight.
