PODCAST · CULEBRA CONVERSATIONS
Four to six keepers.One room. On record.
Culebra Conversations · The official podcast · Founding Class of 2026
Culebra Conversations is the official podcast — "The Shop"-style, 4 to 6 people flown into one room, topic-driven, recorded long. No rushed press hits. No vague answers. The conversation the field has been having for forty years, finally on tape.
The real conversations never got recorded. Now they do.
The best talk in this field happens at the back of a shop, at a show after hours, in a room full of keepers who trust each other. We built the room, flew in the people, and turned on the tape. Four things make it different.
No rushed press hits
Not a fifteen-minute promo spot. Long-form, so the real answers have room to come out.
The whole room, not a grid
Four to six keepers flown into one built space — not a stack of laptop windows.
Topic-driven
Every episode has a subject, argued by the people who actually do the work.
On the record
The conversation the field has had for forty years, finally on tape and in Codex.
Flown in. Sat down. On the record.
