Customer Reviews
Great to listen to
Really informative and great guests. Just need to be a little more frequent :)
Probably my favourite pdocast
Really like the banter and coverage of topics/guests. For me a podcast has to be entertaining and informative and this covers both. I really hope you guys will keep going even if Phil is stepping aside from PHP; maybe you can cover more of other techs? Hearing Phil bash on about Go (almost) makes me want to go away and learn in.
Informative, not boring
Good way of keeping up with the latest PHP news, events and drama. A great range of guests so far. Long may it continue.
