Between the Cracks

Stories steeped in the details. Hosted by Dart Alonge, it’s a journey into the on the ground corners of teaware, the history of artisans with some myth busting, and the quiet rituals that make tea more than just a drink. Listeners get a behind-the-scenes look at the teaware business — from sourcing pots to navigating tea cities — alongside conversations with artists who shape the pots, cups, and tools we use. And sometimes, the journey takes side quests into the wider world of tea: stories of farmers, brewing traditions, and the way a simple leaf connects us across cultures. It’s not about hype or perfection, but about noticing the beauty that lives in the details. If you’ve ever felt that the most meaningful things aren’t the loudest, you’ll feel at home here — between the cracks.
