Bit Depth
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 104 - Video Games with Jeff
Jeff plays clarinet really, really well. And that doesn't have to do much with the fact that he and I play lots of video games. We discuss games that we're into, games that we're not into, and why. Sorry if you're not an avid gamer, this podcast is a little more specific, and I don't expect everyone to be into this one as much. But it was a lot of fun to catch up with Jeff and discuss things we love.
