Two people, one question
Most episodes will be the conversations from the quarterly, heard in full: the pauses, the pushback, the parts that do not fit on the page.
In production · Launching December 2026
Conversations worth hearing.
The audio and video companion to AdaptivesTM, our quarterly publication. Both launch in December 2026, and new episodes follow monthly.
What it will sound like
Not an interview show.
This is the shape we are building towards. It will change once the first conversations are in the can.
Recorded where the work is
We want to record in the places the work happens: a classroom in Belém, a dinner in Lagos, a workplace in São Paulo. The room is part of the story.
Sometimes Russell hosts
Sometimes two guests will talk mostly to each other. Every episode will be edited, so nobody has to sit through a raw call.
The plan for season one
One episode a month.
The first episode is released with the Amazon Issue in December 2026, then one a month. Each is a full conversation, recorded properly and edited. Titles and guests below are working ideas, not bookings.

Why one recording
Record once. Use it many ways.
The idea is to capture each conversation once, well, with releases and a transcript. From there it can become the written feature, the episode, the video, and the clips people share, in both languages.

Help us make the first season.
We are looking for guests, for two people who should be in the same room, and for people who want to help produce it. Tell us, and tell us if you want to hear the first episode the day it is out.
