  • Great Mix of Technologies

    Great podcast with a nice mix of topics around different web technologies. The mix of guests gives varying views, not just a single view point. Length of episodes is a good listen without being overly long on any given topic. Varies from summaries to more in depth looks at web technologies. All around, a good listen.
