In this introductory episode, we uncover the idea behind the podcast and what listeners can expect from future conversations. We also explore the meaning of the word relay and present the visual identity of the podcast designed by artist Vajo, whose artwork reflects the movement of ideas and collaboration at the heart of the project.
Relay, a podcast from Clavis Aurea Podcasts, explores the people and processes behind publishing, art, and cultural production. Through conversations with people working across the cultural sector, the podcast looks at how ideas move from concept to physical form through books, exhibitions, and printed matter.
At its core, Relay focuses on the creative chain behind cultural work. Writers, editors, designers, photographers, publishers, printers, and institutions each play a role in bringing ideas into the world.

What is Relay?
Relay, hosted by Raja Aderdor, is a podcast built around conversations with the people who shape publishing, art, and culture. In each episode, publishers, photographers, designers, artists, writers, and curators come together to reflect on their work, their creative processes, and the ideas that eventually take form in books, exhibitions, and printed matter.
