03 / How a show is made
From a hunch to your headphones.
Scroll to follow one episode through the kitchen: a single squiggle of an idea becomes tape, then a cut, then a finished cover in your feed.
Step 1
The pitch
It starts as a note on a napkin. We talk it through over coffee and only green-light what we would binge ourselves.
Step 2
The recording
Two good mics, one quiet room, no script. We roll for hours and let the conversation find its own shape.
Step 3
The edit
Producers cut the tape by hand, keep the good silences, lose the throat clears, and write the chapters.
Step 4
The release
Mixed warm, mastered for earbuds and car speakers, and in your feed on Thursday morning.
Pitch
04 / The network
A small network with big ears.
Independent, listener-supported and stubborn about audio quality. No auto-generated ads in the middle of a story.

Who runs the show
Priya Raman
Founder and host
Started Echo after years in public radio. Still edits tape at midnight because that is when it sounds best.
Priya Nair
Producer, Signal Path
Turns messy field tape into stories that feel inevitable. Has strong opinions about room tone.
Sam Ortega
Host, After Hours
Asks the question everyone is thinking but nobody wants to say. Laughs at his own jokes first.

Notes from the feed
“
I missed my stop twice this week because of Deep Cuts. No regrets.
A commuter listener · Sample quote“
The chapters are a gift. I jump straight to the story I heard about and then end up listening to all of it.

It sounds like a friend's kitchen at 1am, in the best way.
