  • Finally no more ads!

    I am so glad you guys created your own podcast! I hope this one has less annoying ads like the previous one. It was really annoying to be paying attention to the conversation then “SENTRY DOT IO” or “REACTJS COMMUNITY” for almost 1 minute! I am sure the level of conversations will be as great as you guys are! I can strongly recommend this podcast for everybody who wants to learn about BEAM!

  • Living encyclopedias

    The Beam Radio folks are knowledgeable! It’s great to hear their insights. I’ve really enjoyed the style of the podcast as well - they take time to introduce each host and then the host explores a topic with the team. There’s a broad range of experience from the panel and it adds greatly to the insights they share.
