  • I keep interrupting Charlie to take notes

    As a developer working mostly on my own products, I look for both education and inspiration in my podcasts. I’m picky. I’m technically savvy, business-savvy in theory more than practice & dislike waffle. I want to hear the stories behind products, get tips on the business side along with product design & tech.

    I also don’t have a lot of podcast listening time as I don’t commute. (Cue my wife complaining about my DiY backlog, because there *should* have been a lot more podcast+gardening, podcast... more

  • Presenters Ego

    Very poor content, annoying format and seems to mainly be an exercise in stroking and amplifying the presenters egos. Painfully listens to a couple of episodes before accepting it really was just awful.

  • Wonderful podcast!

    Charlie is a brilliant host, who is able to get his subjects to talk about their process/career with ease. It’s a must-listen podcast if you are interested in the iOS development world or even just software launches more generally. You’ll be entertained and informed with every episode - great show, give it a go!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

94: Shot Pattern — Eric Duffett
Q: How did you decide to scale rather than sell after the big offer?
Despite a tempting offer, I chose to continue because the product already showed a sustainable demand with strong engagement and healthy unit economics, and I believed there was more value to unlock through growth and feature development.
94: Shot Pattern — Eric Duffett
Q: What was the initial core of the idea when you started?
The core idea was to use satellite-style Apple Maps to visualize distances and arcs in front of a golfer, enabling measurement of width and room to hit shots, which would then be refined into a practical, data-driven approach to planning rounds.
94: Shot Pattern — Eric Duffett
Q: So what is the elevator pitch for Shot Pattern?
Shot Pattern is a golf GPS app that personalizes on-course strategy by analyzing your data to help you pick smarter targets and shoot lower scores, effectively bringing moneyball-style insights to golf.
93: Stuff — Austin Blake
Q: What differentiated Stuff early on and what was your thesis for the app?
The core differentiation was Wunderlist-inspired design and the balance of beauty with powerful features, including dependencies and a clean interface, aiming to capture the magic of Wunderlist while modernizing it for today's workflow needs.
93: Stuff — Austin Blake
Q: Where are you from and what is your formal education related to what you do?
Austin explains he's based in Utah near Salt Lake City, studied advertising at BYU, and pursued coding and app development as a non-traditional path, learning by building and iterating rather than following a pure CS track.
