Informative but also entertaining podcast! Every episode brings something new to me from interesting thoughts to mentioning of cool new frameworks or technics! Thanks Leo for running the show!
The deep level of content discussed here is very relevant and interesting to me. However, the presenter constantly interrupts his guest up to a level where they haven’t even finished a sentence of their answer before they are interrupted again. This is very annoying to listen to. And also the audio seems to skip very small pieces. Hopefully both issues can improve, in that case it will be one of my favourite podcasts for sure.
Sounds like the host and guest have the hiccups. Unlistenable
Always a great show with lots of useful and interesting conversations. Congratulations on reaching 150 episodes, looking forward to so many more.
Nice talks about app making and iOS dev world
