Clandestine Hours

A podcast from Clandestine Hours

The work nobody sees.

Conversations with people actually building things, across different arenas (startup, family business, AI, retail, operations), about what worked and what broke. And the invisible work behind the outcomes everyone sees. In Portuguese, mostly.

Conversations, briefings and notes.

Conversations

Builder interviews

The main format. Time and depth with people building something real, across different arenas: how it was actually built, and what kind of business sits underneath.

Clandestine Briefing

Current events, solo

What happened, and why it might matter to people who build. Short reads on the present, in between conversations.

Builder Notes

One idea at a time

Solo, no expiry date: one idea, taken all the way through. The voice and point of view of the house, with no guest.
