About the table
An hour-long podcast, with no script
Twenty-four published conversations, twenty-seven hours recorded and one rule: whoever sits down actually knows what they are talking about.

Who is behind it
Jesús Martínez
I run media companies and I make this podcast. I live in Amsterdam and work between Europe and the Spanish-speaking world. I am not a journalist: I am an operator, which is why the questions come from having lived the problem.
When you write to this address you write to me, not to a sales department. I answer, within 48 hours.
How it works
Four fixed rulesOne hour, no script
Questions are never sent in advance. We talk for twenty minutes before recording and the conversation goes where it needs to go.
Nobody pays for a seat
We do not charge guests and we do not accept payment for interviews. Guests are chosen for their story.
One scar per guest
We ask for a mistake of your own you can name, date and explain. Without that you get advertising, not a conversation.
