Pint Talk started with a bet: that the most interesting conversations happen when both people know the clock is running. A podcast episode lasts exactly one beer. No edits, no padding, no 90-minute slogs.
Gym owner
Mazz owns Intrepid Fitness (a gym in Nunawading) and has opinions about everything from lifting weights to the how to make the perfect espresson martini. Co-founded Pint Talk because the best conversations often happen over a good beer.
SEO & digital marketer
James spends his days convincing Google to care about niche Australian businesses. Co-hosts Pint Talk because he's interviewed enough people for work to know what a good conversation actually sounds like.
We recorded the first episode as an experiment. A mate of a mate who runs a restaurant agreed to sit down for one pint. He expected the usual soft-launch small talk. Instead, he had to compress 20 years of hospitality chaos into 40 minutes before the foam dried up.
The recording was better than anything we'd heard on a podcast in years.
That's because a ticking pint does something a normal interview doesn't: it forces the guest to pick their best stories. Filler dies. Hedging dies. "That's a great question" dies. What's left is the thing you actually sat down to hear.
If the guest is interesting, we sip. If they're boring, we skull. Either way, when the glass is empty, the episode ends.
