About the show

No velvet rope.
No canned answers.

The Public Access Podcast is a long-running collection of real conversations hosted by Rusty Diamond, C.H. Guests bring their work, their weirdness, their hard-earned lessons, and whatever else wanders into the room.

The mission is simple: make room for interesting people and keep every conversation discoverable long after the algorithm wanders off.

Can you actually talk?

Pull up a chair.

The Public Access Podcast is not another stop on your pitch tour. Skip the canned origin story, the rehearsed book speech, and the business spiel you already gave twelve other podcasts.

Rusty wants somebody curious, funny, honest, and ready to wander. We might start with what you do and end up somewhere completely weird. Good. Bring a brain, a sense of humor, and the ability to take a conversational left turn. At the end, there will be time to tell people about your work. First, come have a real conversation.
