What we released this week, what we're listening to elsewhere, and a single small thing one of our hosts noticed. About 600 words. Easy to read with coffee.
No tracking pixels, no quizzes, no "if you like this, smash that subscribe." Just four things from us and one thing from elsewhere.
Two-line summary of every episode that went out this week, with a direct play link.
One 90-second clip from one episode, transcribed in full, with the timestamp it lives at.
One thing one of our hosts is reading or listening to from outside the network. Often a book.
A short note from a host — what they noticed this week. Three sentences. The kind of thing you tell a friend over coffee.
Theo on the surprising upside of recording with a $40 lavalier — plus the new Long Walk Home, the Hard Currency on stablecoin reserves, and a recommendation for a 1988 essay we keep returning to.
Maren on the editorial spine that runs through every Your Business show. New Tin Kitchen on egusi, new Crosstown on a Bedford Ave block, and a Joan Didion essay none of us had read before.
A small inventory of the books we keep within reach in the writers' room. Plus the new Field Notes on coral, the new Slow Frequency on subway air, and a 50-second clip we cannot stop thinking about.
A long, generous email from a listener in Lisbon, plus our reply. New House Spirits on closet altars, new Hard Currency on FDIC tests, and a recommendation for an obscure 1976 BBC documentary.
A short note on why our shows ship year-round, plus the four episodes that went out this week and a reading recommendation from June for the long Saturday.
An update from the studio, four new episodes, a single 90-second clip we can't stop thinking about, and a kitchen note from Adaeze about caramelizing onions in winter.
June founded Your Business in 2019 and writes the Friday letter herself, every week, from the same kitchen table at her apartment in Greenpoint. She also mixes every cold open and walks to work over the Pulaski Bridge unless it's raining.
She does answer reader email. Mostly the same day. Sometimes the next.
