Welcome to our monthly podcast co-hosted by the Radio Bros - Dan and Shaz. Not only are they good friends, the Radio Bros are experienced in developing and consulting for a particular cloud software. Or, as they like to put it, they are Consultant Developers. Every month, they go offline from the daily grind and wind down, casually discussing topics around their work and own experiences with anything that touches the cloud: like web dev, gadgets and everything in between. Dan and Shaz will be sharing their journey. There will be a mix of detailed content (with a bit of ranting) and interviews, so hit subscribe and join the Radio Bros every month for the fun ride!
