Some episodes of Naked Age take painstaking months—sometimes years—to complete. As the editor of a daily newsletter, I’m used to meeting deadlines and rushing things out quickly, so it’s refreshing to have a project unfold a little more organically. That said, I try to stick to my goal of producing four episodes a year—not just for the sake of consistency, but to avoid falling into the trap of turning a brief hiatus into an extended sabbatical.

I usually have two or three episodes in the works at any given time: raw interviews waiting to be shaped, stories I’m still mulling over, and at least one edit nearing completion. After the intense effort that went into last year’s episodes, I took a short breather from editing. I recorded an interview (slated for 2025) and kept chipping away at ideas. But suddenly, I blinked, and it was December—and none of my ongoing projects were anywhere near finished. I wasn’t going to rush them, but I needed something to put out.

Luckily, history is rich with inspiration.
