Meet the host
Hi, I'm Maya.
I started Copperline Audio Stories after a decade of designing for studios and startups. I wanted the honest conversations I never heard on stage — about money, process and the unglamorous middle of creative work. Three seasons later, that is still the whole brief.
- Real stories from working creatives.
- Practical ideas you can try this week.
- No hype, no filler, only what we have tested ourselves.
★★★★★
"Copperline is the first thing I play on Monday mornings. Sharp questions, zero filler, and guests who actually do the work — it has quietly changed how our studio talks about process."
Jonathan MooreCEO, Northloop
★★★★★
"The episode on AI cut through months of hype for me in forty minutes. I sent it to my entire team the same afternoon — practical, honest and genuinely funny."
Amara DialloFounder, Castline
★★★★★
"Sponsoring Copperline paid for itself twice over. The audience is exactly who we make tools for — curious, skilled and loyal to the shows they love."
Tomas LindgrenCMO, Soundly
