After the excitement of our 200th episode earlier this week, it’s back to our regularly scheduled programming here at Fireside. And what’s become regular for us, along with seemingly the whole world, are discussions of AI and the current and potential consequences of its use.

It’s episode TWO HUNDRED! And what a two hundred episodes they’ve been, from public speaking, to Developer Advocacy, to our recent focus on the API space, it’s been an incredible journey, and we want to thank you, our listeners above all, for sticking with us, and inspiring us to stay curious.

Diversity and inclusion have been firmly in the “could do better” section of The tech industry’s report card for quite a few years now. But in this episode from November of last year, Furkan Karayel is determined to change that.

Caelen King (repeat)

When we relaunched the Fireside with Voxgig podcast over a year ago, Caelen King was one of our first guests and even then, it was obvious there were tech layoffs happening. But Caelen gives great advice to non-tech founders and leaders about hiring - no matter what the market dynamics may be.
