Tony’s Room is a podcast about everything I was supposed to keep to myself. It’s where creative burnout meets midlife curiosity, where dumb ideas accidentally turn sincere, and where I talk about art, music, YouTube, and all the ways we try (and fail) to feel original. It’s not motivational. It’s not productive. It’s just... me, in a room, trying to figure out how I got here — and why I can’t stop making things anyway. New episodes whenever I remember I have a microphone.
