How to be a guest on the Udienza podcast

Udienza is ten minutes with the people who build what you run. If you built something the rest of us run on, this is how you end up in the other chair.

Who the show looks for

Founders, maintainers and CTOs of open source, cloud native and AI infrastructure. The test is simple: did you build, or change, something that people run in production today? Guests are chosen for that and nothing else. Sponsors never pick the guest, the questions or the edit. Nobody pays to appear, and nobody is paid to appear.

Where and when

The show films where you already are. In 2026 that has been FOSDEM in Brussels, KubeCon + CloudNativeCon in Amsterdam and Yokohama, AGNTCon + MCPCon Europe in Amsterdam and Open Source Summit Europe in Prague; the list, with what was filmed at each, is in Where Udienza films. A recording takes a corner of the floor, a speaker room or a booth, and about fifteen minutes of your day for ten minutes of video.

The ten minutes

Each episode is one idea. Before the camera rolls, you and the host agree on the one thing you built or changed and why it matters to someone running systems today. Then comes the part you never hear on stage: what broke, what surprised you, what you would do differently.

The host, Luca Berton, opens with one question, the one the episode page later carries as its headline, and asks the questions a peer would ask. He spent fifteen years building infrastructure and platforms himself, so you can skip the basics.

What to bring: the one idea, and a number or a story that makes it concrete. No slides, no demo, no script. If you have ten minutes between sessions, you have what it takes.

What happens after

Episodes go out on Tuesdays, on YouTube first and then on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Amazon Music and the other apps. Each one gets a page on this site with the video, the takeaways, the chapters and the full transcript, so people can read it in the time it takes to watch it.

You get the square artwork and a link card the day the episode goes out, and captioned vertical clips of the key moments to share with your team or your company’s channels. Nothing in them is invented: the posts are built from the chapter titles, the summary and the takeaways on the episode page.

How to book

Take the other chair: pick a slot and say what you built. If you will be at one of the events above, say which. Anything else, including an event the show should be at, goes to hello@udienza.com.
