We're (obviously!) huge fans of On the Metal[0] too (and the episode you cite with Ken was indeed extraordinary[1]!) -- but we have come to like our Oxide and Friends[2] Twitter Space even more. The reasons why are manifold, and really merit their own long-form piece, but as a few examples of episodes that show why we find it so compelling, see "Tales from the Bringup Lab"[3], "Theranos, Silicon Valley, and the March Madness of Tech Fraud"[4], "Another LPC55 Vulnerability"[5], "The Sidecar Switch"[6], "The Pragmatism of Hubris"[7], "Debugging Methodologies"[8], or "The Books in the Box"[9].

There's tons more where that came from; if you are a fan of On the Metal, I don't think you'll be disappointed -- and it has the added advantage that you join a future conversation!

Oxide and Friends is good despite Twitter Spaces, but On the Metal was great. I hope to see it return.
Could you include a link to the new podcastified Twitter space in the footer of https://oxide.computer/ ?

And maybe do an addendum 5 minute announcement episode on the “on the metal” podcast?

Love your excellent work, thank you all

Yes, that's in the works: we have a website redesign coming up, and this was included in it. So stay tuned!

And the 5 minute announcement on the On the Metal feed is a great idea; thanks for the idea -- and for the kind words.

Finally, I hasten to add: we have a really exciting Space coming up on Monday[0], where we'll be joined by Jon Masters to talk about the importance of integrating hardware and software teams; join us!
