NEW RELEASE

Martyn Davies

Today we’re speaking to someone who could definitely give us all a few tips on how to make high quality, engaging DevRel content. We’re talking about Martyn Davies, the Developer Relations Leader at Zuplo, who joins us to talk APIs, developer experience and the wider world’s understanding of DevRel.

Ed Shee

It can be a hard pill for DevRels to swallow, that not everyone loves learning as much as we do - but at the end of the day, this itself becomes a problem that we can spend time learning to solve! Too meta? Today’s guest is Ed Shee, the CTO of Ignitus.

Nuno Job

You may have heard of something called a “can-do” attitude. Well for today’s guest, Nuno Job, it’s more of a “will-do” attitude, as he seems to breeze past industry neurotics and red tape with admirable ease. He’s here giving a little inspiration to those wanting to shake up the way things are done.

Pat Dwyer 2

If you’ve ever been tasked with public speaking, then you’ve probably found yourself amongst the large majority of people who consider it to be one of the scariest things a person can do. And if that’s the case, you might be interested to hear from today’s guest, Pat Dwyer.

Allan Knabe

We’re continuing to kick off the new year with Allan Knabe, the CEO and Co-Founder of apiable.io, an API portal that’s helping to smooth out the creation process. Building an API is harder than it looks, but it doesn’t always have to be such a difficult task.

Eoin Boylan 2

Welcome back! We’re bringing in 2025 (and with it a new, exciting lineup of guests) with an oldie but a goldie - Eoin Boylan.

Phil Leggetter

Top tip: if you’re thinking of getting into DevRel, just know that you will hate boxes of t-shirts for the rest of your life. Or at least that’s how today’s guest, Phil Leggetter feels about them.

Kevlin Henney

Today, we’re speaking to Kevlin Henney, who, if you scroll back far enough, you’ll see was one of our earliest guests on the podcast. We’re thrilled to have Kevlin back for a discussion on microservices, agile development and how developers can avoid the “factory line” work style.

Zameer Fouzan

Today we’re talking observability, open source, developer education and the politics of conference speaking. And we’re doing it all with our amazing guest, Zameer Fouzan from New Relic.

Jim Bennett

Coding is like spinning plates, and before you even start you've gotta be spinning seven of them. Today's guest is Jim Bennett, the Developer Advocate at Pieces For Developers, where they’re trying to make that plate spinning act run just a little smoother.

Katie Wasilenko Miller

Katie Wasilenko Miller

Our guest today is Katie Wasilenko Miller, and if you’re at all curious about what it’s like to have worked in DevRel for Google, Asana, and Slack then this might be the episode for you.

John Gilhuly

John Gilhuly is the chief developer advocate at Arize.com, an AI observability monitoring platform, and he joins us for a great discussion on the rapidly evolving AI space, and what that means for a company built to work with LLM applications.

Stacey Kruczek

When Stacey Kruczek joined Aerospike.com, their community building needed a little TLC from a developer relations expert. These days, the community is 12,000 people strong, and she knows exactly how to prove DevRel’s business value. In this episode, we chat with Stacey about all this and more.

Nick Schneeberger

Nick Schneeberger

Nick Schneeberger is the developer behind Freepublicapis.com, and we’re thrilled to have him on the podcast to give us some insights into how programming is being both taught and learned in the current age.

James Higginbotham 2

James Higginbotham 2

Back in February, James Higginbotham joined us for a chat about what it’s like to work with increasingly large developer teams. Now he’s back to catch us up on what he’s been doing at his company, LaunchAny.

Ed Stephinson

Today, we’re talking to Ed Stephinson who should serve as a shining beacon to those wishing to turn their side hustle into their main hustle. Ed is the Founder of Sailhouse.dev, which he has been building into a thriving startup all while balancing a separate 9-5 job throughout!
