Bit Depth

Santiago Ramonessantiagoramones.com
Deep conversations with interesting people. Santiago Ramones gets to know people on a deeper level: Why they do what they do and why they believe what they believe. Bit Depth lies at the intersection of creativity and philosophy, striving to establish a culture of nuance, empathy, and growth. A musician himself, he speaks with other musicians, creatives, outliers, and any sort of interesting person interested in deep conversation. Still going strong after seven years and hundreds of episodes, Bit Depth features some of Oklahoma City's most fascinating minds and influential artists.

REPOST: Bit Depth 136 - Breck McGough

Bit Depth 188.5 - Wedding

Sable and I are getting married on October 10th and I’ve let go of enough shame to be able to ask for assistance. Weddings and honeymoons are expensive and there are lots of costs that nobody sees coming. So there’s ways that you can help us out: tgt.gifts/sabliago is the best way of doing so immediately - you can buy us stuff from Target, where we’re registered. Another way of doing so is the common ways you can support me anyways: santiagoramones.bandcamp.com and anchor.fm/santiagoramones are ...
