I just want to say your podcast has been a great review of all the networking stuff I’ve learnt on-the-fly over the years, but is now being pulled into context (episode by episode). I highly recommend this podcast to others who have done networking (even for years), but don’t have any formal networking training. Great work. I love that Holly fearlessly asks the questions I’d be hesitant to ask. Great work.
I’ve been looking for a podcast about computer networking for awhile, hoping to gain some more knowledge on the way to work, and this is it! The hosts are engaging and they cover a lot of topics for what seems like all knowledge levels. Thank you for making this!

A practical, interview-driven deep dive into core networking concepts, protocols, and architectures. Episodes cover topics from multicast, MPLS, IPsec, and firewalls to redundancy, VPNs, OSPF, and management strategies, often weaving real-world anecdotes with accessible explanations. The format combines a seasoned network engineer with a newer entrant, delivering both historical context and hands-on guidance, which tends to appeal to engineers, architects, and serious hobbyists seeking clarity amid jargon and acronyms. A notable strength is the balance between theory and field experience, plus a willingness to tackle vendor nuances and practical deployment challenges in a conversational, approachable style.
