Independent product studio · Est. 2026
42Ten Media is an independent product studio founded by two longtime friends who like turning real-world friction into simple, useful products.
About
We've been friends for three decades, which means we've spent an unreasonable amount of time talking about music, technology, business ideas, and things that should work better than they do.
Eventually, some of those conversations turned into actual projects.
42Ten Media is where we build them.
Our approach is straightforward: start with a genuine problem, keep the experience simple, and make something we'd actually want to use ourselves.
No feature pileups. No unnecessary noise. Just useful ideas, thoughtfully made.
Projects
Focused products and media projects built around real problems, real interests, and fewer unnecessary moving parts.

Two longtime friends. Music, life, and whatever else wandered into the conversation.
The Fairly Odd Dudes Podcast is where decades of friendship, shared musical obsession, questionable opinions, and the occasional useful thought end up with microphones in front of them.
Founders
