  • The only self hosting podcast I'm aware of.

    The hosts work well together, and I have learned quite a bit either from the podcast itself or by following up on a particular subject after the fact. I take notes for this one. I'd like a more frequent release pace, but understand the difficulties involved.

  • Good banter and tech details

    Nice to listen to them both and occasionally pickup some information on some new tech or project for me to research further.

    Keep it up.
