Recorded (often) on the sauna bench, we talk with interesting guests about sauna including such aspects as building sauna, enjoying sauna, and health and wellness benefits to sauna. The rising sauna tide is lifting many boats and we look forward to some left turns that we hope to keep listeners on and off the more enjoyable and less trampled authentic sauna trail.","last_synced_at":"2026-07-05T12:20:14.910041+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/sauna-talk-323379"},"episode":{"title":"Public Sauna Operators Roundtable | Recorded at the 2025 Culture of Bathing Gathering in New York City | Sauna Talk Episode 110","slug":"public-sauna-operators-roundtable-recorded-at-the-2025-culture-of-bathing-gathering-in-new-york-city-sauna-talk-episode-110","published_at":"2025-04-05T02:07:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/sauna-talk-323379/public-sauna-operators-roundtable-recorded-at-the-2025-culture-of-bathing-gathering-in-new-york-city-sauna-talk-episode-110","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/sauna-talk-323379","url":"https://saunatimes.libsyn.com/sauna-talk-110-culture-of-bathing-panel","audio_url":"https://traffic.libsyn.com/secure/saunatimes/SaunaTalk_CultureOfBathing2.0.mp3?dest-id=374776","summary":"Welcome to this special episode of Sauna Talk, recorded at the Culture of Bathing gathering in New York City, January 2025. This is a bit of a two-part conversation. We begin with a behind-the-scenes discussion featuring Adam of Thermë USA, who moderates a panel of public sauna operators from across North America. Together, they reflect on the gathering itself and the growing interest in sauna as a shared, public experience. From there, we move into the live panel discussion, recorded in front of an audience of nearly 100 attendees. Joining the conversation are: Annette, from Tampa Bay, Florida Kelly, from Hudson Valley, New York Stephanie, from Montreal, Quebec Each brings a unique perspective on what it takes to build, operate, and sustain public sauna in their respective regions. What emerges is a snapshot of a movement in progress. Public sauna in North America is still finding its footing—shaped by climate, culture, regulation, and community—but there's a clear and growing momentum. These are the voices helping define what that future looks like. From New York City, please enjoy this special episode of Sauna Talk.","meta_description":"Welcome to this special episode of Sauna Talk, recorded at the Culture of Bathing gathering in New York City, January 2025.
