Great Start!

This podcast is starting out well, I think the topic is really interesting as these are the type of stories I would share with other sysadmins while enjoying some beers. No matter your scale, if you’ve been on call you’ve lived these nightmares!
Must listen for any Dev or Ops pro

I'm listening to the whole back catalog now. A great premise combined with terrific guests/interviews. Each episode brings back so many memories of on-call experiences I've had throughout the years. I've always found that you really learn the most from your mistakes and experiences, hearing these stories of other people's on-call experiences (and how they corrected / made things better / etc) is the next best thing.
The Net Meets Jack Ryan
01/10/2019
As a college student at the University of Michigan in the mid 90’s I was enthralled with my computer science degree. I barely went out and really soaked up the knowledge my professors were so generous to share. As a professional nearly 30 years later, I’m still in love with being a sysadmin. Maybe it was Sandy Bullock in The Net that made my love affair with the internet so strong but whatever it was, the passion is still there. On Call Nightmares completely captures what it takes to be in DevOps or SysAdmin and why we are so special. I feel like a hundred bucks every time a new epi comes out. The host is cordial and affable but the guest steal the show. So far my favorite was episode 3, Chris Short. There were parts of this one that felt like I was watching AMAZON PRIMES, JACK RYAN. I’m so happy to have a new show help pass the time while I commute on my bike to work.
