Behind the scenes

The board, the mugs, the green room mirror, and the exact second Peaches regrets saying yes. This is what a taping actually looks like.

How an episode actually happens

Four steps, none of them followed

  1. Step 1

    Coffee, then chaos

    Mugs get filled, the outline gets abandoned, and the first real conversation starts before anyone hits record.

  2. Step 2

    Peaches runs the board

    Levels set, headphones on, patience already thinning. She keeps it clean while we make it messy.

  3. Step 3

    We go long. Always.

    Every episode is scheduled for an hour. Every episode ends whenever the story does.

  4. Step 4

    Almost nothing gets cut

    Independent means we decide what stays in — and these days, that is nearly everything.
