Bentonville, Ark. – October 29, 2026 – [KOREWIRE] — Tandem Studio, the AI-native venture studio that opened to the public in September, said today that the Slackers podcast and the Red Threads newsletter now operate inside the studio. The two properties are the start of a media arm that sits alongside Tandem’s client work and the software it builds for itself. Season two of Slackers starts today and runs twenty episodes into 2027.

Red Threads is a weekly email that has been running since 2024 and has published more than a hundred issues. Each one offers a single idea meant to change how you see your work. It is written for builders, creators, artists, entrepreneurs, and the people leading them, and it goes after the part most advice skips, which is thinking clearly about what you are doing and why before the work starts.

Slackers is a conversation show about building things, co-hosted by Jaime Solis and Jonathan Sasse. Season one ran twenty-one episodes. Season two opens with the two hosts on why an artist’s mindset may be the posture the market needs right now. It then runs six episodes recorded with founders in Northwest Arkansas who are each building and running a new business, product, or service. Across the season, the hosts pull the threads together so listeners can see the patterns behind better work and a better way of working.

Tandem treats media as part of how it works with founders. The same kind of agent the studio builds for its clients runs on tandemstudio.ai, and it can point a visitor to the Red Threads issue or Slackers episode that fits where they are, whether or not they are ready to hire the Tandem team. The show and the newsletter let the studio’s owners be useful to far more builders than they could ever take on as clients.

“I’ve spent years learning what it takes to earn someone’s attention, week after week and at scale,” said Jaime Solis, founder of Red Threads and co-host of the Slackers podcast. “That’s the problem every founder is trying to solve. With Red Threads and Slackers inside the studio, that catalog and everything we’ve learned making it can go to work for Tandem’s clients.”

Both properties keep their formats and schedules, and Solis continues to write Red Threads.

“Red Threads has been a nights-and-weekends project for more than a hundred issues, and so has the show,” Solis said. “Inside Tandem Studio, both have people and tools behind them. That is what lets a newsletter and a podcast grow into a media arm.”

The Northwest Arkansas episodes are a highlight of the new season of the Slackers podcast. That corner of the country has a concentration of founders, capital, and operators that gets talked about locally far more than it gets covered anywhere else.

“There is a lot happening in a very small area, and most of the people building it have never been asked to tell that story,” said Jonathan Sasse, a Tandem co-founder who lives in Northwest Arkansas. “So we went and sat with them and asked.”

Season two of Slackers publishes on Thursdays. Episode one is available now, and Red Threads is open to new subscribers, at tandemstudio.ai/media.
