Welcome to season 5 of the award-winning .NET Core Podcast! Check that link for proof. Hello everyone and welcome to THE .NET Core Podcast. An award-winning podcast where we reach into the core of the .NET technology stack and, with the help of the .NET community, present you with the information that you need in order to grok the many moving parts of one of the biggest cross-platform, multi-application frameworks on the planet. I am your host, Jamie "GaProgMan" Taylor. It's the time of year again: time to get a little meta and talk about the show on the show. As it's now summer, I wanted to talk about why the show takes a break, what's coming up in the next season, and drop a little surprise on you all - so stick around to the very end of the episode for that. We're currently on a month-long hiatus from the show, and new episodes will start appearing in your feeds on September 8th - or September 6th if you're a patron of the show. Because of that, this episode will be a little shorter than most. But it still has a lot of information in it that I think you'll find useful and interesting. If you find this episode useful in anyway, please consider supporting the show by either leaving a review (check our review page for ways to do that), sharing the episode with a friend of colleague, buying the host a coffee, or considering becoming a Patron of the show.
