…who announced an ending and a rebirth of their podcast in mid-2026.
“Un Billete a Chattanooga” is the podcast by Ana Cirujano, Khaleesi of design, and Data freak Pablo Moratinos, where you can find interviews with many people from the WordPress community, as well as marketing and design experts from Spain. Chances are that if you think of a name from the WordPress or design community, you can start looking for them there. And if you don’t find them, just let Ana and Pablo know—who knows, maybe they’ll interview them.
In addition, one of the show’s most distinctive topics is their reviews of Spanish WordCamps, where they comment on the organization, the speakers, the food, and many other details—both the good and the not-so-good. This approach is very constructive and appealing because it lets you see the structure of these projects, which we all know are challenging. Ana and Pablo have also been media partners at events such as WordCamp Europe and other international WordCamps, contributing interviews, coverage, and promotion.
The show has been on the air for six years and, contrary to what I thought, it will come to an end. Ana and Pablo have confirmed that there will be a change in episode 360. As they explained, they reached Chattanooga in episode 180 and are now on their way back; in episode 360, they will reach their final destination, get off the train, and begin a new path. What will it be? Artificial Intelligence? An avatar? A name change? They’re still thinking about it, and there isn’t much time left, because at the moment of this interview, they’re on episode 312. Doing the math, there are 48 episodes to go, so June 30, 2026, would be episode 360—although since there was an episode 0, that would technically be episode 361. They’ll confirm it. I have to say I always believed it would be an eternal show, because Un Billete a Chattanooga has accompanied the Spanish WordPress community for years.
In this interview—which I was especially excited to do—they offer an intimate look at the show’s six-year journey. The program was born spontaneously from phone conversations between Ana and Pablo. What began as chats about clients, design, SEO, and marketing soon turned into an open space to share knowledge with the community. With a clear premise—“hit record and let it flow”—they made naturalness their hallmark. Their style is a fresh, natural format based on reality podcasting, with no editing or rigid scripts. Although they research each guest beforehand, conversations flow naturally, with questions that arise in the moment, creating a warm and authentic atmosphere—always respectful and focused on creating a “safe space” for guests.
When asked about their favorite episodes, they mentioned several memorable ones, including:
- Episode 137 with Luis Monge Malo, irreverent and fun.
- Episode 178 with Joan Boluda, featuring more than 100 never-before-asked questions.
- Episode 110 with Nando Papalardo, where he anticipated the sale of his company.
- Episode 133 with Jimena Catalina, who told the story of how she sold her startup to Canva.
I won’t say more. Listen to the interview and get to know these interviewers in depth—through their extensive work, they have thoroughly documented the second-largest WordPress community in the world: Spain’s.
Note: I finally have information about Ana Cirujano’s brick background—she explains it in the interview.
