This is hands down the best podcast about Elixir on the Podcast universe, if not even the best software development podcast out there. It’s informational rich, deep and still enjoyable to listen.
This David guy takes every opportunity to push his leftist ideology on the listeners. This is a tech podcast -- keep politics out!
Recently started learning functional programming and subsequently elixir. I found this podcast and love the blend of general tech discussion and more focused elixir talking points. Favorite episode so far is “End of local host development.”
This may be the best podcast about Elixir. The episodes are released at a regular cadence, the audio and conversion quality is great, and the topics don’t feel repetitive. The weekly news summaries are super handy.
And, the intro music can’t be beat. 😁
As an aspiring elixir developer, it’s super useful to both hear the news and then dive deep into a topic. Thanks for an awesome podcast!

A weekly tech show focused on the Elixir programming language and its ecosystem, balancing timely community news with in-depth interviews from developers, founders, and security experts. Episodes foreground language updates, tooling, and practical projects, often pairing strategic discussions (performance, type systems, security practices) with hands-on explorations of libraries and frameworks. A standout pattern is the cadence of news summaries followed by a focused interview, plus sponsorships that highlight security tooling and developer productivity. The format tends to attract listeners who want both a broad view of Elixir trends and actionable insights from practitioners and builders in the space.
