Post Status Podcasts Cory Miller, David Bisset

In this episode of Post Status Draft, David sits down with Michelle Frechette to talk about what Post Status is planning for its community and the WordPress crowd as a whole in the first half of 2022. They cover three new events: the Weekly WordPress Job Chat on Twitter Spaces, WP Career Summit, and the first-ever Post Status Twitter Conference. (The conference theme is “Give. Grow. Together.”)

After the first Post Status WordPress News Draft went so well, we decided to do a more “European” timezone friendly version. The group of news “avengers” that assembled in this episode are Winstina Hughes, Tammie Lister, Nathan Wrigley, Amber Hinds, Yvette Sonneveld, and Malcom Peralty — with David Bisset hosting. In three rounds of draft picks, this group assembled new and interesting picks of the most noteworthy or influential WordPress news stories of 2021.

In this episode of Post Status Excerpt, David has an honest and deep dive with Bob Dunn into the "versions" of the WordPress community — something Bob covered in a recent blog post that has gotten some attention recently. They discuss what each "version" was like, how money can make a community act differently, and how people position themselves, for better or worse, in reaction to changes in the community.

In this episode of Post Status Excerpt, David and Cory chat about the key events for Post Status in 2021, including Cory's acquisition of Post Status from Brian in May, StellarWP's sponsorship of Post Status Slack to go pro, and the acquisition tracker. Cory also explains how his understanding of Post Status has changed since acquiring it.

It's the first-ever Post Status WordPress News Draft! The initial group of news "avengers" in this episode are Aurooba Ahmed, Jason Cosper, Daniel Schutzsmith, Robert Jacobi, and Lesley Sim — with David Bisset hosting. In three rounds of draft picks, this group assembled the most noteworthy or influential WordPress news stories of 2021.

In this episode of Post Status Excerpt, David has a nice chat with Anne McCarthy. Anne is a Developer Relations Wrangler for Automattic and (among other things) has been responsible for many of the recent videos showcasing the features of Full Site Editing and WordPress 5.9. David and Anne talk about what decisions led into the delay of WordPress 5.9, her start of Automattic, COVID and it’s effect on contributions, and how polished Full Site Editing might be by the end of January.
