Welcome to Product Internals! A podcast about getting started building internal and platform products, growing them and growing yourself.
We're Arvid and Rob, technical product managers in the Platform organisation at Spotify. Join us once a week for a conversation around a lesson that one or both of us has internalised during our 10+ years so far working in the tech industry, as well as challenges specific to platform products and for some reflections on the craft that help us grow as Product Managers.
