Your Business is a small podcast network out of a brick studio in Greenpoint. We make seven shows about cities, science, sound, money, food, faith, and the people we keep losing. No ad reads from mattress companies. No celebrity hosts. Just careful, made-by-hand audio you'll want to keep in your kitchen.

— The full network

Seven shows. One signal.

Every show is hosted by someone who knows the topic the way you know your kitchen — by feel, by use, by the back of your hand. Pick one and start with the latest episode, or work your way through the back catalog from the beginning.

The Long Walk Home

Hosted by Maren Vasquez

Stories of the people we lose track of — addresses we leave behind, friendships we let slip, and the long ways back. Recorded at the kitchen table, mostly.

WeeklyEp 88 · 41 min

Slow Frequency

Hosted by Theo Park

A field-recording show about the sounds we stop hearing — refrigerator hum, cathedral silence, the noise of an empty subway car at 4 a.m. Soothing and slightly disorienting.

Hard Currency

Hosted by Lina Berger

An economics show for people who hate economics shows. Lina, an ex-bank examiner, walks through a single financial idea per episode — patiently, plainly, and with a lot of receipts.

The Tin Kitchen

Hosted by Adaeze Okafor

Recipes, but really arguments. Adaeze invites a chef onto her show, then they fight politely about whether to brown the butter, salt the water, and what counts as a stew.

Field Notes

Hosted by Dr. Reni Costa

A working scientist's reading log. Reni, a marine biologist out of Woods Hole, walks through one paper a month in plain language and explains why it matters — or doesn't.

Crosstown Local

Hosted by Ezra Holloway

Cities, told one street at a time. Each episode is a single block — its history, its current disputes, the bodega owner's opinion on the new bike lane. Recorded in the field.

Episode 47 — The Apartment Above the Bakery

52 min · Released Tue, April 28 · Free

Maren returns to the four-flight walk-up where she lived for nine years before everything changed. The new tenants have re-tiled the kitchen, the bakery downstairs has become a vape shop, and the only thing she recognizes is the smell of the stairwell. A meditation on how a building remembers and how we don't.
