The Changelog: Software Development, Open Source

I was searching for a software development podcast over the summer, but as someone who kind of has impostor syndrome with regard to the field, I felt like anything I’d find would be intimidating at best and impossible to follow at worst with all kinds of jargon and tech stack talk I’ve never touched. I found the Changelog and it’s really been amazing. It’s made me realize I actually do love hearing and learning about this stuff again. Changelog News is a surefire way to keep on top of an industry that is impossible to do otherwise. And the interviews are just great. Easy to follow conversation, some humor that is welcomed but not chock full of inside jokes. The only thing that is nerve wracking for me is how in the world I am going to tackle the back catalog of episodes! As someone who kind of dabbles in this audio world stuff, Jerod and Adam are tremendous hosts. I highly, highly recommend this podcast!

I like the content, the deadpan narration is difficult to listen to.

Change log News on Monday is quick and timely. Changelog Interviews on Wednesday and Changelog & Friends on Friday are insightful, nuanced, and well done. Keep up the great work!

I’ve been listening for a couple of years now. The short summaries of weekly finds gives me just enough context to inform me whether I would want to deep dive and find out more. I have a growing collection of to-read-later thanks to this. The soundbites and humor keep the listening fun too. The above comments are about the short length weekly news podcast, but the other podcasts in the stable have similar high production and entertainment value as well and are worth checking out
