About

Media with a spine.

A network built on the belief that the best conversations deserve production, distribution and a relationship with the audience that nobody else can switch off.

What we hold to

Four things we will not trade away.

Own the relationship

The audience lives in a database the network holds. Every episode, every email and every viewer strengthens something no platform can switch off.

Reciprocity over hierarchy

Hosts share in sponsorship revenue. Brands see what actually happened. Listeners get conversations worth the hour. Everyone grows, or the model is not working.

Quality is the strategy

Fewer shows at a higher standard beats a directory nobody finishes. Studio production, cinematic editing, and hosts with something true to say.

Consciousness belongs in technology

We use data the way we would want it used on us — to reach the right people rather than the most people, and to earn attention instead of extracting it.

The founders

Two remits, one network.

John Burgos and Michael Graziano are building the same thing from opposite ends of it — the room and the reach.

John Burgos

Audience, host development, creative direction and conscious media.

Michael Graziano

PR, distribution, partnerships and brand growth.

Together, they are building the infrastructure exceptional voices have been missing.

Outside the roster

The founders make their own work, too.

Cover artwork from John Burgos’s own titles, carrying his name and his own mark. They are his projects rather than shows on the network — the roster is the two shows on the shows page.

Meet the shows

The argument is easier to hear in the work.

Two shows are live on the network today. Both are filmed, both are hosted by a founder, and both are the standard the rest of the roster is being selected against.

If the standard sounds like yours, take a founding seat.
