Sometimes, I put down my keyboard and pick up my microphone to record a solo podcast that I like to call Breaking Change. It's an intermittent series of long-form discussions on whatever's happening in my little corner of life and technology. Each episode also features a hand-crafted pun delivered to us by Aaron "@tenderlove" Patterson and then I rank the pun on air. So that's fun.

If you enjoy Breaking Change, consider checking out my guest appearances on other shows, which I collect as a second show called Merge Commits.

More about "Breaking Change"

Should I listen to it?

If you like to listen to podcasts while you do the dishes, walk the dog, or drive from A to B, and you enjoy blazing hot takes marinated in uncomfortably personal banter about Apple rumors, AAA gaming, whatever's streaming on TV, and life as a programmer, then yes!

If you like tightly-produced, heavily-sponsored, 30 minute panel discussions on a narrow topic, keep moving.

Solo? No cohost? Just you?

They are unusual, for sure. The podcast has a real drive time radio feel, which has become something of a lost in the current era that seems to dictate all podcasts must be interviews and panel discussions. Trust me, I have plenty of voices in my head for the both of us. When you're listening to Breaking Change, It's just me and you out there.

How do I get my ideas into the show?

Have a question you want me to answer or a hot take and want me to react to? Shoot me an e-mail at podcast@searls.co and I'll try to fit it on the next show! I read each and every e-mail.

v1 - Initial Commit

Breaking Change

I finally gave up and recorded a podcast. And now I'm writing show notes. I tried not to let this happen but here I am typing this and it's happening. Forgive me.

This is a podcast for anybody who shares my interests and likes passing the time with a friendly, opinionated voice in their head. I have done thousands of hours of chores and errands over the years listening to mostly agreeable, sometimes interesting 1.5-3 hour podcasts to keep my mind busy. Now it's time for me to give back, I guess.

Here's the deal: e-mail me at podcast@searls.co and I'll talk about whatever you want me to talk about. Write whatever you want into that e-mail body: ask a question about video games, ask for my take on a new technology, ask for relationship advice, tell me my podcast sucks. You write it, I'll read it.

Okay, here's what I covered in version one of Breaking Change:
