Today, @ben & I officially get to call ourselves podcast hosts. We are very excited to introduce you all to DevDiscuss, the show where me, Ben, and our lovely guests get to discuss the burning topics that pop up around DEV and beyond. The format of our show begins with an interview with one or two guests, and ends with commentary straight from the community. I’ve been hinting at this new podcast since I posted my first dial-in request back in March:
If you’ve responded to any of these threads, either by commenting or dialing our Google Voice number, you might hear your comment (and voice) on the show!
We kicked off our inaugural episode with a topic that software engineers often don’t consider: changing your name. We were inspired by Penelope Phippen’s (@penelope_zone ) article, “Changing your name is a hard unsolved problem in Computer Science,” so we brought her into our fully distributed studio for an interview.
You can tune into the episode directly here on DEV (and continue browsing the site!), or any other platform that supports podcasts:
Pro Tip - If you follow the podcast on DEV, new episodes will show up directly in your feed :)

Really liked the first episode! Changing your name in the real world has really a big effect on various systems. @penelope_zone was a great first guest in the show. I am looking forward to the next episodes!
It's really exciting to be a part of this, the first episode with @penelope_zone was our first recording of the season and it was great to start on a note that reflects the ethos of the show: To tackle real software topics with nuance and go deeper than surface-level, while always delivering some technical meat to ensure folks are coming out of this with new perspectives that are going to help them as developers.
The feedback between the community and the show topics has already shown itself to be really cool.
The show has not yet gone live on Apple Podcasts, as mentioned, but if you use spotify or elsewhere subscribe and leave a great review...
Also if you intend listen on DEV, check out our mobile apps at dev.to/downloads as we will just continue to improve this part of the overall experience.
Happy coding, happy listening ❤️
🎙️🎙️🎙️Congratulations on the new podcast! 🎙️🎙️🎙️
It's really exciting to have watched this show evolve from concept to production to release. There's more work related to planning, recording, mixing, hosting, releasing, etc. than I could have ever imagined. Major congrats are in order for @ben and @jess , Senior Podcast Producer @levisharpe , and to @saronyitbarek for her editorial input.
This is our first "DEV Original" podcast, but we're amazingly lucky to have learned so much about the process from Levi and Saron, who are pros at this given their experience with the CodeNewbie Podcast and BaseCS Podcast.
We hope you enjoy the show!
Thank you everyone for the kind words! It was a blast to work on this show with everyone involved, and I can't wait for you all to hear what we have in store for you!

Thank you! I really appreciate your comment 🤗
Super great first episode! 🔥
Also, whenever the podcast is playing you don't have access to the post toolbar, at least on mobile. Maybe consider giving the podcast toolbar a visibility toggle?
No RSS feed?
Oh I don't think we thought to include that because most people don't interact with the feed directly... feeds.devpods.dev/devdiscuss_podca...

Wow how exciting! Congrats on the big launch 😊😊😊
Awesome work, guys!
It is refreshing to hear from a fresh set of voices. I hadn't thought about these things, like the effects of the changing your name, and the 'unpopular opinions', until you did episodes on them. It really helps you get a new perspective on things.
This endeavor will definitely be a great platform to discuss the latest issues/milestones of the tech industry. Looking forward to hearing your takes on the hottest topics (or maybe on the underrated ones too :-) ).
Thanks. I’m currently listening :) This is good for me after work. Your English can easily understand. 🙏🏻🙏🏻😍

I listened to the latest episodes of DevDiscuss S2 E8 and honestly, it's a great listen. I'll be looking forward to listening to more and more topics in the software engineering world/related topics in the future.
Yeahhhhh!!!! 🙌🙌
I'm a big podcast listener and listen a whole lot to syntax.fm, and this will be a great addition to my podcast rotation. Hyped!
Congrats on the new Podcast!
Wish you a lot of creative topics and interesting guests for the future episodes!
