World Ablaze Over Coffee: George Fontes on Podcasting, Style & Craft (Part 2)

In Part 2 of Bruce’s conversation with George Fontes, the energy shifts into a calm, Sunday-morning coffee chat about the craft behind his voice. This episode explores the inner workings of World Ablaze — how George shapes his tone, develops his topics, and brings a distinctive presence to the microphone.

George walks Bruce through his creative process, the mindset he enters before recording, and the philosophy that guides the style of his commentary. They dive into the balance between intuition and preparation, how authenticity carries a show, and what makes a host’s voice connect with an audience.

The episode also touches on the additional podcast he produces with his brother, unpacking:

the origin of the show,

their on-air chemistry,

the differences in tone from World Ablaze,

how the sibling dynamic creates a unique storytelling space,

and the future direction of their collaborative work.

Part 2 reveals the thoughtful, process-driven side of George Fontes — the creator, storyteller, and craftsman behind the mic.
