The Grey NATO
December 17, 2018 11:00 - 1 hour - 76.9 MBThis week it's three HODINKEE editors, two podcasts, and one awesome crossover episode. We sit down with the hosts of The Grey NATO podcast, HODINKEE editor-at-large Jason Heaton and senior writer James Stacey. We knew from the very beginning that getting these two guys on HODINKEE Radio to talk about why we all decided to make The Grey NATO part of the HODINKEE family was a no-brainer, but this conversation ended up being about much more than podcasts and adventure watches. Enjoy. Show Not...

Stephanie Bednarek (Commercial Space Professional)
December 03, 2018 18:09 - 57 minutes - 53 MBStephanie Bednarek is both a space professional and a watch nerd. Her passion for space started early and she has worked in the business of space in quite a few capacities, both for government organizations and private companies. She realized she loved watches through a funny set of circumstances but has developed a diverse taste in watches that goes way beyond the models you're probably expecting (though she does still love a good Speedmaster). She also has a lot of thoughts about what the ...

Davide's job is to lead the company into the future, being savvy enough to take the best of the past with them, while having the discipline to ...
Michael Weisberg (Vintage Expert)
October 22, 2018 10:00 - 57 minutes - 53.1 MBTo call Michael Weisberg a watch dealer doesn’t really do him justice. In addition to selling watches (and really damn good ones, I might add), he also deals in vintage design and furniture, classic cars, art, and more. From classic Rolex sport watches or rare Prouvé chairs, Sol Lewitt wall drawings or a vintage Ferrari, Michael is your guy. We sat down with Michael in LA to talk his career path, the state of the collecting community, and how his various interests all intersect. Enjoy. Show...

Ted Gushue (Photographer, Car Guy)
October 15, 2018 10:00 - 1 hour - 62.1 MBThere really is nobody quite like Ted Gushue. He could be described as a "man of sort-of-leisure." He works hard – really hard, in fact – but at the kinds of things that most probably wouldn't consider work at all. Ted is currently something of a nomad, traveling the world taking pictures with his Leica M10, driving the coolest cars from nearly ever era of automotive history, and helping brands reach new audiences. To say Ted's got a dream job would be something of an understatement. He sat ...
Matt Scannell (Frontman, Vertical Horizon)
October 08, 2018 10:00 - 58 minutes - 53.9 MBThis week, we're speaking with "Vertical Horizon" frontman and friend of the show Matt Scannell.

Jason Fried (Founder, Basecamp)
October 01, 2018 10:00 - 53 minutes - 49.4 MBThis week we're talking to Jason Fried— co-founder of Basecamp and New York Times best-selling author. Jason has a mostly cerebral approach to watches. He was first drawn in as a kid, but it was coming to understand them as complex feats of design and analog companions that turned him into a real watch lover. Hearing him talk about watches, you wonder how anyone in their right mind could resist this strange little hobby we all enjoy so much. We also get into Jason's new book new book, “It Do...
Apple And The Future Of Watchmaking
September 24, 2018 10:00 - 1 hour - 73.5 MBThis week we're talking all things Apple Watch.

Also, Stephen has a one-on-one interview with John Gruber, the proprietor of Daring Fireball, the premier blog covering all things Apple. Enjoy. Show Notes (0:01...

In this episode we talk about the development of the e-Crown, his own history in watch collecting, and what he thinks the watch industry needs to do to survive in the 21st century. En...
Philippe Dufour (Watchmaking Legend)
September 07, 2018 10:00 - 46 minutes - 42.7 MBIn this bonus episode, we sit down with one of watchmaking's true modern titans: Philippe Dufour.

September 03, 2018 10:00 - 58 minutes - 53.4 MBThis week, host Stephen Pulvirent and HODINKEE Senior Writer James Stacey sit down with actor Keegan Allen. Keegan will be a familiar face to regular HODINKEE readers, since he was featured in an episode of Talking Watches a few months ago. Beyond his love of watches and his career as an actor, Keegan is an avid photographer, musician, podcast host, and poet. The guy does it all. If you want a reminder of the joy that things like watches, music, photography, and more can bring on a personal ...
Adam Scott (Golfer, Masters Champion)
August 27, 2018 10:00 - 58 minutes - 53.4 MBThis week, host Stephen Pulvirent and HODINKEE founder Ben Clymer sit down with professional golfer Adam Scott. Fresh off a third place finish at this year's PGA Championship, Adam gave us some time to talk about career highlights, his ambassadorship with Rolex, his favorite surf spots in his native Australia and, of course, watches. Outside of his official relationship with Rolex, he's amassed quite the collection of vintage watches and loves to get into the details. Enjoy Show Notes (3:2...
Scott Dadich (Media Exec, WIRED)
August 20, 2018 10:00 - 59 minutes - 54.6 MBThis week, we sit down with media exec and vintage Rolex enthusiast Scott Dadich. Scott got his start as creative director of Texas Monthly magazine before moving on to Condé Nast, where he would spend the decade from 2006 to 2016 reinventing Wired magazine. He's now a partner at Godfrey Dadich Partners, a creative agency that works with a diverse array of brands ranging from magazines like Wired and National Geographic to the Obama Foundation. It probably comes as no surprise, but in additi...
Todd Snyder (Menswear Designer)
August 13, 2018 10:00 - 1 hour - 56.7 MBThis week, your host Stephen Pulvirent and HODINKEE editor Cara Barrett sit down with American menswear designer and entrepreneur Todd Snyder. Todd has been around and learned from the best at every stage of his career (think Ralph Lauren, the Gap, and J. Crew). He now runs his own eponymous label, which from the beginning put a distinctly American spin on wardrobe basics ranging from sweats to custom-tailored suits. Lucky for us, Todd is also a real watch guy, favoring exactly the kinds of ...
Eric Ku (Vintage Watch Expert)
August 06, 2018 10:00 - 1 hour - 55.6 MBThis week, we sit down with one of the world's preeminent vintage watch dealers: Eric Ku. Despite his reputation, there's a lot more to Eric than rare, killer examples of mid-century Rolex watches. He's a dedicated patron of contemporary, independent watchmakers and it was actually Vianney Halter's Antiqua that first opened his eyes to the wonders of horology. The guy also knows a ton about food and enjoys a great glass of wine. He's someone who really understands the all important idea that...
Om Malik (Founder, GigaOm)
July 30, 2018 10:00 - 59 minutes - 54.7 MBWhen we decided to do a podcast, having Om on as an early guest was a no-brainer. He's probably best known to most people as the founder of GigaOm, one of the original tech blogs, but he's also written for nearly every outlet of note you can imagine, including the Wall Street Journal, the New Yorker, Forbes, and more. The guy is incredibly smart and thoughtful, without an ounce of pretension. But at the same time, he's got killer taste and a good sense of humor to balance everything out. In ...
Rian Johnson (Director of "Star Wars", "Looper")

We met up in Los Angeles to talk about spotting cool watches in old movies, his creative process, and what watch he's hunting for next. Show Notes (9:05) Orson Welles' Paul Masson Commercial Outtakes (11:41) You Must Remember T...
Gary Shteyngart (Author, Lake Success)

Despite having only caught the watch collecting bug fairly recently, Gary has undeniably become a watch nerd of the highest order (he tans his own watch straps on the porch of his home in Upstate New York, for example). Together, they talk about his forthcoming novel, his thoughts on connoisseurship more gene...
Ben Clymer (Founder, HODINKEE)
