Hello and welcome to something kind of brand new for Hodinke

Podcasts obviously that starts off with the fact that you can see us which is a

special treat but for those of you who aren't aware my name is James

Stacy lead editor with Hodinke and I'm joined today by Hodinke's founder and good

Palomine, Ben Climber. And Ben, we've got kind of a fun announcement because we took a long break

from podcasting. We did to try and develop a plan of what we actually wanted to do rather like to be a little bit more intentional about it.

Not not what we told each other to do but like what we wanted to do. Exactly. Yep and we so we've been bouncing back and forth and this is kind of well like the title says this is

episode zero of your new show Ben Klammer presents and they're gonna be

sort of with in-depth conversations with interesting people that are kind of subject matter experts or, you know, cut from the same cloth as a given topic.

Yeah, I think, I think that's exactly it, James. I think like, you know, I read every comment on the site and on Instagram, you know I really do pay attention to what you are asking for and I think the one thing that that has been so crystal clear over the past will say year or however long it's been since we stopped doing Hodinky Radio,

is you guys have been kind of yearning for really in-depth content

from people who really know what they're talking about.

So this idea of Ben Climate Presents is me kind of hosting a real subject matter expert in something.

It'll obviously mostly be about watches but it might include a car company or

something like that potentially, but it's this idea of like really speaking to people

who know a subject so intimately that the conversation

is just so far more interesting than what

you get at a, you know, from a press release

or anything like that.

So it'll be, we're gonna do about 10 episodes, we're gonna do one a week for the next 10 weeks or

thereabouts.

They'll all be hosted by me, we'll have some great guests,
