    I’ve been a regular podcaster for, wow, around 15 (!) years now. More or less…[1]

    After some occasional guest appearances early in the run of on a show called “Dogear Nation”, back in 2009 I moved up to a regular slot as a co-host, with my friends (and, at that time, IBM colleagues) Michael Martine and Michael Rowe. That show ran for 200 episodes in total, and then after a short break, the same group of folks (more or less) rebooted as Games at Work dot Biz… and we just released episode 473 of that podcast. There’s no special milestone number there apart from the fact that that’s a lot of weeks we’ve been recording, I was just inspired to mention it on my blog since it hasn’t come up for a long time!

    We record Games at Work dot Biz together weekly on a Friday, and release on the Monday. Each week, we talk about what’s new in tech, running through stories and links shared in the preceding week by our listeners and also amongst the three of us co-hosts. We originally focused on the intersection of gaming technology and business productivity tools, but have a broad perspective across all things collaborative, social, immersive, and more (plus, LEGO, because, that’s always cool…!).

    You can find us on all podcasting apps – here’s a handy jumping off page to your platform of choice, thanks to Episodes.fm which is a really neat way to reach a podcast on your preferred app. We’re currently having a bit of a challenging time getting all three of us together to record at once, but that’s OK – life happens, and there are different dynamics and topics we tend to get into, depending on which of us is reviewing the week’s links!

    I also want to give a shout out to Michael and Michael – two dear friends I’m grateful to have made, with connections we’ve maintained, through all these years. They’ve been huge supporters of the things I’ve done, and I appreciate these two humans a lot. I recorded a solo episode of the podcast back in November with a “Thanksgiving” moment, saying the same thing. Thank you, guys!

    If you’re interested, I also sometimes pop up in the monthly Techgrumps shows, although that tends to be determined much more by availability – always a fun one, though, so worth checking out if you want to listen to a bunch of folks getting grumpy / cynical about tech! I’ll try to get back to that one sometime soon.

    Finally, I’m also always delighted to be invited to be a guest on other shows! Recently, I’ve recorded a couple – only one of them is available right now, and the other one will arrive when it’s ready! This was a panel conversation about Developer Relations in Open Source – you can find that in audio form as well, or a video is available to watch on YouTube if you prefer.

    [1] well, I’m being a little inaccurate here, as there was a whole swathe of time when I wasn’t able to take part in Games at Work dot Biz, so I (re?)-joined the Michaels as a co-host some way into the run! However, I was also occasionally guesting on the Ubuntu UK Podcast back then. It’s complicated!
