On the Road
Conversations about lived history, remarkable places and real life
On the Road is born out of movement. Out of motion rather than destinanation — not only from one place to another, but also in the mind. Out of observing, listening, and shifting perspectives. Each episode begins with an encounter — sometimes planned, sometimes unexpected — and follows no fixed script. A podcast in the rhythm of the road: with time, curiosity, and space for what cannot be reduced to simple answers.
São Paulo, from within
Talking about life in a megacity
Maria is Brazilian, a YouTuber. She lived in São Paulo for many years. In the first episode of On the Road, the conversation starts with everyday life as a way to understand a city that is constantly changing — caught between fascination, pressure, and urban reality. A spoken portrait of São Paulo, without clichés.
The Panama hat that isn’t one
On misnaming, craft, and long journeys
The Panama hat is famous worldwide — and misnamed. In this solo episode, I trace the story of an object that has come to symbolize travel, elegance, and exoticism, while its true origins are often overlooked.
I talk about its roots in Montecristi, about craftsmanship and time, trade routes and global perception — and about how a false name became a lasting truth.
