7/5 will listen again

This podcast has a nice balance of being very informative, and also entertaining. The guys know a lot about programming and deliver lots of good insights and tips, but they do that in a nice and casual manner. I usually listen at the gym or commuting to and from work and it feels like I’m one of the guys talking about interesting stuff. Obviously it helps that the guys are like me in terms of age and years of programming.

Informative and funny

One of my favorite podcasts. Chill, funny, and informative. Great for the daily commute. Many times focusing and going relatively deep on some topics - which I really appreciate! Keep up the great work!

20 of 60 minutes

Topics in this show are great, but this podcast contains too much chit-chat. First 20 minutes are usually talked about having poll or not, should we talk about topic x and some side project which someone is having to learn javascript. Please cut first 20 minutes from episodes.

Edit. They really try to improve the show, so I revisited my review and add an extra star for improving things.
