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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Our hosts aren't moonlighting from a TV career. They're a chef, a marine biologist, a bank examiner, an architect, a sound engineer, a radio veteran, and a journalist who covered city hall for sixteen years. Listen and you can tell.
