Side tangent: the podcast

“I like this podcast. It CAN be quite informative and often dives into specific subjects for an entire episode where other shows might just touch these subjects as they come up, as one part of a group of subjects, etc.
The problem is, though an entire show might be based around a concept, you’ll listen to the whole show and not really feel any more informed on it. Most episodes turn into a series of “well ACTUALLYYYY”’s.
Secondly, discussion happens on an extremely macro level. It’s tough to translate code to audio, but they can definitely be better about discussing real life scenarios you might use whatever. Part of this is on the guest, admittedly, but if the guest isn’t getting into the weeds, I think the panelists should try to get them there. I think as a listener, most people would prefer that to a game of “stump the other panelists/guests”.
Panelists: no one cares about the random irrelevant environment that x doesn’t ACTUALLY work in. There is nothing wrong with discussing a side topic if it comes up naturally and is “danger zone listeners need to know this for real”. But I’m sure around a quarter of the content of every episode is irrelevant information.
Sorry if this review is harsh, I do like the show, I just want it to be better. I’m tired of seeing a subject in an episode title, getting excited, then an hour later feeling like it was a waste.”

“Very disappointed and finally gave up with this podcast. The host is absolutely terrible (not knowledgable about JS at all and at times pretty rude to guests) and most of the panel sounds very awkward. As someone in the industry of teaching JS, I recognize how difficult it can be to do...”Read full review »
