About the show

    Pull up a chair

    ZADAN sits down with one guest and lets the conversation run. Most episodes go past an hour and a half. The talk wanders from how someone grew up to what they're building now, and nobody steers it toward a sound bite.

    How it started

    The Wednesday Wanderer started in 2018 under Michael B Isbell Media. Season one ran four episodes: decentralized information with Jace Galloway, gentrification with Steven Lopez, scoring VR with Alex Ellsworth, and staying healthy while you chase a goal with Wisith Jiengwattana.

    Season two came back in 2020 with filmmakers, a dentist who requalified after moving from India, a live-streamer, a fashion photographer with work shown at the Louvre, and a musician who kept performing every week while homeless. In 2024 the show moved to Zathena Ventures, which produces it today.
