- Explain it to me like I'm 5... then get into the nitty-gritty
Nathan is so good at having guests start with the basics and build from there. I usually find myself somewhere in the middle, but there's always some essential little nugget I've missed along the way. I learn so much and feel like I'm filling in any missing gaps in my knowledge base.

No updates since july 2019? Is this pod closed? Bad news if so. I really liked it.

Sweden6 years ago - Great, Authentic Show
I’ve been an open source developer and WordPress geek since 2012. This podcast is exceptional—there’s valuable, relevant conversation with humor and good spirits. Compared to some other WP podcasts that are cut, dry and short, WPWeekly is both informative and entertaining.
I feel like I’m hanging with friends when listening to the show. The hosts are also not afraid to speak their mind and tell it like it is concerning the WordPress community.

Apple Podcasts5Christopher !ImportantUnited States7 years ago - Awesome!!!!!
This has become my new favorite WordPress podcast. Jeff Chandler and John James Jacoby talk about all that is going on in the WordPress world as well as interviewing some pretty cool people in the community. Their knowledge gives a great point of view on what is happening in the community. Makes me feel like I am sitting in a coffee shop with them.
PS - WordCamp East Troy was the best ever!!!!!!
