    WPCandy Podcast 36: Sticker Furniture with David Bisset

    In this episode of our podcast David Bisset was kind enough to join me to discuss his upcoming event WordCamp Miami, BuddyPress, and other noteworthy WordPress news of the week. David even gets greedy and offers up somewhere around 3 or 4 WordPress picks for the week. Honestly, I lost count.

    You can follow David on Twitter, visit his website (and hire him!) and of course register/sponsor/adore WordCamp Miami in April.

    Jake Caputo started up quite a discussion this week centered on his being prohibited from speaking at WordCamps due to listing split licensed themes on the ThemeForest marketplace.

    The WPCandy Podcast #32: “Uncle Ben’s plugin list”

    The WPCandy Podcast #32: “Uncle Ben’s plugin list”

    Episode #32 of the WPCandy Podcast sees Brian Krogsgard and I (yeah, seriously!) running down the most important WordPress news of the week in just about 30 minutes. I’ve said it before, but I’ll say it here again: if the other podcasts we produce here overwhelm you, the WPCandy Podcast proper is likely the show for you. Very little discussion, but quite a bit news and links.

    If you only listen to one WordPress podcast this week, make it this one.

    This episode is sponsored by the Typecase plugin by UpThemes and the upcoming WordPress service Raft.io.

These Guys are WordPress Experts

It is obvious from the content that these guys are pros, but they make it easy for anyone to understand. Whenever I update my Podcasts I always listen to them and YourWordPressEngineer first. They don't waste my time with a lot of foolishness, but rather get right to the important stuff. If you love WordPress, you will love this show.
