    Anything and Everything WordPress. If you want to stay current with the latest on: core, blocks, FSE, plug-ins, security, accessibility, and even--I'd actually say, especially--the human aspect of WordPress, then this podcast is a must-listen.

  • Timely Resource

    I listen to almost every episode of this podcast, and I especially make time for the weekly news roundup to keep up to date on WordPress news. I find it to be a very timely and useful resource, filling a void for me left by the end of the WP Tavern podcast. It’s got excellent nuggets of information each week for both WP power-users and developers. Upbeat and easy to listen to. Thanks so much!

  • Accessible and interesting

    Very helpful podcast series. Interesting to hear about Word Press web design possibilities. Friendly presentation of the latest news. Keeps good balance to be informative but not overwhelming to non professional developers. I learnt about all sorts of plugins and possibilities that helped me improve my personal sites with less pain and expense.

  • My favourite WordPress podcast

    I've listened to enough of these that I've started spelling "favourite" with that baffling "u" just to fit in. The hosts are genial and genuine, with enough self-deprecating humor that you won't even question the music choices.
