Wow John is productive! Am leaving a review here but it is amazing how he has managed to plug away at 5 podcasts on The Engineered Network for over 6 years. Loved episode 102 with Dave Jones, Podcasting 2.0 and the lightning network are super exciting. GO PODCASTING!

John certainly adds his particular and passionate style to disseminate knowledge on a broad base of topics in a thorough way while being well supported by Ben. I recently heard this podcast show mentioned on another podcast and started at the beginning and have enjoyed each episode so far. I look forward to catching up to the rest of the audience. Thanks John & Ben for the episodes.
All around us there's vital pieces of manufactured items and technology that we interact with each day. Each of these have a rich story of how they work and how they came to be. They make these already relatable topics a lot of fun.
