Like a fireside chat with your tech mentors

Each episode so far has picked very interesting topics, and the discussions have been comprehensive and wide-ranging. The Docker episode in particular was a great intro. I came away with a number of jumping-off points to go explore.

Great start! Excited to see how the podcast takes shape.
