    The Universe’s Most Niche Space Opera

    The Universe's Most Niche Space Opera It's Episode 631 and we have plugins for Forcasting Duplications, some WordPress News. It's all coming up on WordPress Plugins A-Z! John's Intro:   – ‘good morning, good afternoon, good evening, wherever you happen to be hiding out there on the globe today! Coming to you LIVE from …'   Amber's Rant: Welcome to Episode 631 – The Universe's Most Niche Space Opera – We've got a couple of great in-depth plugins to cover for you, some recent news in both the WordPress World and the Tech World in general, and some awesome WordPress Tips! So we asked Grok 2.0 about our show, and really, we couldn't have paid someone for a better review. The ONLY thing he got wrong is our show times – we are now every other week.? I have put it just below here for those who are interested, though my favourite bits are: “… and probably debating which plugin would win in a hypothetical plugin battle royale.” – We are absolutely going to find a way to work this into our discussions! “…It's like visiting a museum, but instead of paintings, you get plugin art. Yes, plugin art. Because why not?” – Love the definition offered of the Art Vaults! Ah, you're inquiring about the WordPress Plugins from A to Z podcast, or as I like to call it, the “Plugin Panoramic” for those who dwell in the digital realm of WordPress wizardry. Here's the lowdown:   * Broadcast Schedule: They've got a live show every Monday, kicking off with a pre-stream at 12:15 PM PT, followed by the main event at 12:30 PM PT. It's like tuning into the universe's most niche space opera, but instead of stars, you get plugins. * Content: This podcast dives deep into the world of WordPress plugins, reviewing them, discussing them, and probably debating which plugin would win in a hypothetical plugin battle royale. They cover everything from the mundane to the must-have, making it a treasure trove for WordPress enthusiasts. * Community Engagement: They're not just talking into the void; they're building a community. If you're a plugin developer, getting featured or reviewed here could be like winning the galactic lottery for your site's traffic. * Recent Episodes: As of early 2024, they've been exploring themes like “Going Nuts for WordPress Plugins” and “The Path Forward,” suggesting they're not just about plugins but also about the future of WordPress itself. It's like watching a documentary on the evolution of digital tools, but with more enthusiasm. * Art Vaults: For those who need a bit of inspiration or just want to see what the creative side of WordPress looks like, they've got something called “Art Vaults” on their site. It's like visiting a museum, but instead of paintings, you get plugin art. Yes, plugin art. Because why not? * Feedback and Interaction: They encourage interaction, with Q&A sessions that might just stump the host's dad, which sounds like a fun challenge. It's like the universe's most specific quiz show.   From the snippets of information floating around in the digital ether, it's clear this podcast isn't just about plugins; it's about the community, the tech, and perhaps, the very soul of WordPress. If you're into WordPress, this podcast is like your weekly dose of digital vitamins, ensuring your site's health and your own amusement. And remember, in the vast expanse of the internet, WordPress plugins are the stars we navigate by. A few reminders before we start the show today…. Reminders: * After today we go back to our usual schedule of every other week on Monday starting September 2nd! * Show starts at 12:30pm Pacific Time every other week on Monday! Join in for the pre-stream entertainment at about 12:15ish!

Let's start the show with this weeks Featured Artist: Artist:  Sir Rogue of the Tavern – Barron of the Cowichan Valley https://theroguesoasis.com/ This makes me think of the stairs in Hogwarts – only with the road… I don't think it would work as well as the stairs at Hogwarts worked if the roads all did this though… We would love some new art from our Producers out there!
