The premiere podcast for embedded engineering

I am a PhD EE with a specialization in optical physics, but recently did a substantial career shift into embedded design. This podcast has been a godsend. I have learned an substantial amount from these two subject experts, who discuss a variety of relevant topics in a clear, professional dialogue. Really a shame that this show has gone dark, but fortunately all the episodes are archived.

Seriously useful info!

These guys really know microcontrollers. Really appreciated their episode on how to move from a dev board to the real deal. Hope you’ll make more shows!
