About This Project

Summary

Time Sensitive features candid, long-form conversations with leading minds across the cultural spectrum—from art and architecture to climate, technology, and beyond. On each episode, host Spencer Bailey interviews guests about how they think about time broadly and philosophically, and how specific moments in time have shaped who they are today. These conversations chart how creative leaders move through, experience, and make sense of time—and themselves—in our fast-paced, overstimulated world.

Goals & Objectives

Our mission is to create greater reflection through deeply researched long-form storytelling. We achieve this through nuanced and in-depth interviews with leading cultural figures, including novelist Jonathan Lethem, author and podcaster Malcolm Gladwell, and architect Lina Ghotmeh.

Results & Impact

Time Sensitive has seen 2.6 million downloads, with an average of 20,000 downloads per episode. In 2024, it was named a “Best Podcast of 2024” by Condé Nast Traveler. Our overall brand has cultivated a culture-forward audience of 2.6 million people and 13,000-plus newsletter subscribers.
