About

Alec was an overworked journalist. Nick was an exhausted startup employee. A mutual friend forced them to grab beers together and forty-five minutes later, they had a new project to fill their nonexistent time.

Nick started hounding connections to book guests and Alec worked long evenings producing the content. Alec willingly switched jobs to a marketing firm while Nick was laid off from his startup. The community grew as Nick traveled the world while sleeping on couches to interview renowned guests. After applying for a press pass to the 2020 X Games, ESPN approved their application and the Commonwealth became the first podcast to receive press credentials in the sport’s history. Regardless of the crazy, unexpected things that happen in their listener’s lives, an episode of the Commonwealth comes out on Monday morning.
