Wow, those are incredibly kind and inspiring words -- thank you! The good news is that these are all made available via RSS wherever you get podcasts.[0]

What I (we!) love about social audio is that it allows for many more voices -- both on the team here at Oxide and in the broader community. As a result, we've been able to get into some really deep detail with members of the team; I collected a few of my favorites in [1].

Thank you again for the kind words; I think you'll enjoy exploring the back catalog of Oxide and Friends!

I missed the On the Metal podcast and hadn't noticed the Oxide and friends format until a few weeks ago. It just ended without any hint as to what if anything to expect next. I really enjoy it when the conversation goes of whatever script there may be, someone can't/won't stop and dives ever deeper into a topic or pet pieve/past trauma. It may not have the highest production quality (looking at you Twitter spaces), but who cares? Often times it feels like some random encounter in a hackspace (e.g. Bluetooth and Wi-Fi stop working as soon as someone mentions firmware bugs).
Thanks for the links Bryan!

May I suggest a small teaser trailer post to the old “On the Metal” feed? I’m still subscribed there, but wasn’t aware of the new channels.

Those were some incredible interviews! I’ve listened to a few of the episodes twice.

So glad you enjoyed "On the Metal"! Your suggestion is a great one, and we'll work on this over the next few weeks; stay tuned, and in the meantime, enjoy the "Oxide and Friends" back catalog!
Second that! I was a big fan of "On the Metal", and was bummed when it ended. Stumbled upon "Oxide and Friends" almost by chance, and was happy to discover it kept the same style (and even better, with more voices).

You made my commute a lot more enjoyable. Still going through the old catalog -- the episode about NeXT and Objective-C (S1E8 July 5, 2021 [1]) was excellent.

Keep up the great work Bryan!
