Bit Depth - podcast cover

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.

Bit Depth 85 - Modern Christianity with John

Bit Depth 84 - John Barritt

John Barritt is one of my best friends. He's always been a devout Christian and went to school for it, so most of this podcast touches on the spiritual side. Get to know John! A note about the audio: there were many factors (mostly a doggo factor) that contributed to a difficulty in making the audio sound as good as possible. There may be some quiet moments and then some loud moments; forgive me for making you adjust your volume so much.

Bit Depth 78 - Analog and Digital with Dustin and Michael

Dustin Ragland and Michael Trepagnier join me in this discussion of analog and digital in music making and how music technology impacts the way we make records.

I am so honored to have had these two people on my podcast at the same time and to have both Michael's and Dustin's experience and wisdom in music technology. You can find Du...

Bit Depth 73 - Christianity with Sally

Sally's not through with you yet! Sally and I discuss Christianity: what it says people should do that they don't, and what it says people shouldn't do, but they do, and the arguments that happen in between. Using the magic of editing, I could sorta make it sound like this one and the cosplay one were recorded at different times, even though they weren't. But I figured I should be honest about that. Find her on Twitter @toevah_shrimp and on Instagram @vandeavor

Find all of his stuff on Spotify, iTunes, bandcamp, Soundcloud, or MySpace, which he still uses for some reason.

Bit Depth 64 - Than Medlam

Than Medlam is a musician, luthier, comic book enthusiast, and father. He's incredibly interesting and I appreciate having his point of view on the podcast.
