Tentative is the waffle-fries of podcasts.
No substance here. Other podcasts by thoughtbot are great, though.
I really love listening to this podcast. Nice variety of topics all pertaining to design, code, and personal and professional development. It's nice to just hang out and "talk" with interesting people about some interesting topics.
It’s short, not too chatty and very informative. I can see this becoming my favorite thoughtbot podcast. Have heard someone call Reda the “unicorn of unicorns”. Don’t know if he’d like such a title but his work and skills are very impressive.
