Very Meta! </p><p><br></p><p>Mike and Shane are joined by Kris Jenkins, Developer Advocate at Confluent and Shawn "Swyx" Wang, Head of DX at Airbyte to use the opportunity of Podcast day to chat about all things Podcast related - how to get started, how to convince your organisation, how to get buy-in and what are the pros and cons of heading down the podcasting route. We spend time discussing the different approaches of the panelists, how they got started and how to engage and build an audience.
