We've turned it into a podcast as well, so you should be able to enjoy it wherever you consume podcasts.[0]

While there may be some unfocused rants in there (sorry, I guess?), there's also a lot of extraordinary technical content -- certainly, if anyone else has described their board bringup experiences in as explicit technical detail as we have in [1] and [2], I would love to be pointed to it!

Thanks for the link for a podcast version. That's helpful. I did listen to those two talks earlier and those were probably the most interesting. I did dislike that there seemed to be a constant process of interrupting each other in the middle of someone telling a story so the story became quite fragmented as it took some time to come back to the topic (or the topic was forgotten entirely and never elaborated on after the interruption).

Another thing that ended up being frustrating is repeated references to some image and I had to pause and go digging through people's personal twitter accounts to try and find the image that was being talked about. There seemed to be an assumption that the listener follows all employees personal twitter accounts.

There's also audio quality issues in general as it's not nearly as good a quality of media equipment as was used for the original on the metal podcast. (Maybe it's similarly cheap equipment, but it was better quality before regardless.)

I love those little interruptions. Like when a guest is speaking on a topic and they bring up a name or company of the past. And that segues into another bit of SV lore.

If you haven't already: Maybe an "episode" directing listeners to the new stuff?

[I wouldn't have known if I hadn't stumbled onto these replies. :( ]

The audio quality seemed a bit rough on the few I checked out, but I'll try again.
