The castings

Each week, one casting.

Every episode is one long conversation, recorded in Chattanooga and left to cool in its own time. When it has set, it goes on the feed.

The long form

Long-form, or it doesn't pour.

The interview is the channel the whole show runs down: one guest, one conversation, and as much time as it takes to get somewhere worth hearing.

That is the format, and it is the point. Long-form is why an episode of The Copper Wire sounds like a room rather than a segment.

A new episode every week

Weekly castings land on the main feed, free for anyone who wants to listen.

The interview is the show

Guests get the long form, not a segment. The conversation sets its own shape.

Made in Chattanooga

Recorded in Tennessee, in a city that knows about heat and things cooling into shape.

Live pours

Some castings happen in front of people.

When the show records live, it does it in a room in Chattanooga with an audience in it. Same long-form conversation, more heat in the air, and a tape that sounds like a place rather than a studio.

The room

Chattanooga, Tennessee — small rooms, close walls, real air.

The format

A long-form interview, recorded in front of an audience.

The feed

Weekly episodes are free on the main feed. Bonus feeds and the member community come with membership.

The furnace

It takes heat to make something worth hearing twice.

Weekly episodes are free, and they stay free. Everything around them — the bonus feed, the live recordings, the room where listeners talk to each other between castings — is paid for by the people who listen. Members and donors are the heat under the metal.

Donor

A gift that goes straight into recording, cutting and the room itself. No tiers to climb — just heat where it's needed.
