TIKI Talk started in December 2021 with Mike and Shane giving updates on what was happening behind the scenes at TIKI as a means to communicate more efficiently with our users, investors, families, and friends.

The podcast later expanded to feature a wide variety of guests, but the internal TIKI talk has been a constant since its inception. Here are all the podcasts featuring exclusively the TIKI team. Usually Shane and Mike, but also Barry and Ricardo sometimes too!
