Be a guest

Somebody out there
needs your story.

You don’t need a platform, a book, a milestone or a tidy ending. Two hundred people have sat in this chair and nearly all of them thought their story wasn’t remarkable enough. They were all wrong.

Start the conversation

How it works

Four steps, and you can stop at any of them.

The practical part

The questions everyone asks before they write in.

You are in control of this.

You decide what is on the table and what isn’t, and we agree it before the cameras start. You can stop at any point. You can ask for something to come out. If you’d rather not use your full name, or not show your face, say so and we’ll build around it.

Nobody is here to ambush you. The whole point is that you leave feeling like it was worth saying.

Tell us about you

Five questions. No application, no vetting process, no waiting list. A real person reads every one of these, and we’ll come back to you either way.

However much or little you want to say. It doesn’t have to be tidy.

Not using your full name, not showing your face, avoiding a particular subject — whatever it is, say it here.

We read every one. You’ll hear back either way.

If you’re not ready yet

That’s a completely reasonable place to be, and this page will still be here. In the meantime, watch a few conversations and see how it actually goes.

And if what you need is support rather than a microphone, these are free, confidential and open every hour of the day.
