Invite or suggest Justin as a guest!
I started a second podcast called Merge Commits. It's a cool new interview show where the only rule is that I'm always the guest. As in, I am sometimes featured on other people's podcasts and I syndicate a Searls-only feed of them all for posterity. (Hence, "Merge Commits".)

If you enjoy Merge Commits, consider checking out my solo act, Breaking Change.

More about "Merge Commits"

Wait, what is this?

A podcast that does nothing but mirror my appearances on other people's podcasts.

What? Why?

Well, sometimes I get interviewed as a guest on other podcasts, and I didn't necessarily want to throw them on the main Breaking Change feed. Breaking Change is designed to be an inclusive potty-mouthed podcast that never gets too technical, and if episodes started showing up in my cousin Jay's feed that were nothing but API technobabble, he'd probably unsubscribe. And to be honest, my ego needs every subscriber I can get.

Should I subscribe?

Two reasons you might want to subscribe to Merge Commits:

  1. You are a Justin Searls superfan, and you would like to consume every morsel of content I excrete (also: gross)
  2. You want to discovering new podcasts that occupy my particular corner of the Internet

If neither of these are particularly appealing to you, DO NOT SUBSCRIBE to Merge Commits. I want to be very clear about that.

Merge Commits

Lisa Crispin and I were both interviewed live from this offshoot of the national Agile software conference that was more focused on, you know, actual software. No one was surprised when it didn't last.

.NET Rocks: Live in Bulgaria

One of the weirdest conference trips I ever took was to Sofia, Bulgaria, where I talked about JavaScript testing to a room full of .NET developers at a conference in a shopping mall run by Telerik.

Wide Teams: Test Double

Merge Commits

Avdi Grimm used to host a podcast about remote work, and he had me on to discuss Test Double. The fact we were remote from day one was a bit controversial back in 2011, as silly as that sounds now.
