No matter the border, everyone has a story.
Name and Occupation feature interviews from around the world—artists, musicians, entrepreneurs, beekeepers, guitar builders, journalists, and people doing work worth documenting. These podcast guests appear in video interviews, audio conversations, and in-depth profiles exploring craft, process, and creative practice.
The guests range from established musicians preserving Celtic traditions to underground street artists documenting culture in real time. No promotional interviews. No celebrity profiles. Just guests talking about real work without the performance. Every interview starts with the same question: What is your name and occupation?
