Meet the team
Second Spark is an independent podcast delivering deep, story-driven episodes on the technologies about to transform how we live and work — one technology, one story, every month.
We are a husband-and-wife team of technology investors based out of New York City who started this show after years spent underwriting innovation for a living. Somewhere between the press releases and the price targets, a practical voice went missing — the one that explains how the machine actually works, who built it, what it costs, and who captures the value. So we started making the show we couldn't find, with the freedom of having no master to serve beyond our own curiosity, our own standards, and the evidence.
We publish as Thomas & Katie because we'd rather be judged by the work than by the résumés behind it. The numbers are checked, the sources are named, and the gauges we set on air get settled on air. That's the deal.
We're grateful for every listener, and we make it easy to reach us: hello@secondspark.art. New episodes air monthly.
