Episode 1: Welcome to your WP Briefing

Posted February 1, 2021 by Josepha. Filed under Podcast.

Why this podcast now?

There’s a lot that goes into WordPress, and for anyone who isn’t involved full time (and sometimes even for those who are), it can be tough to see it all. There is more to WordPress’s success than the code within it or the open source freedoms behind it. To really understand what makes WordPress so unique, you would have to spend countless hours digging into its philosophy, the community that supports it, and the many years of learning that the software benefits from.

This podcast is for WordPress users, builders, and contributors of all levels. It’s designed to give you quick insights into the longstanding philosophies of the WordPress open source project. Each episode will include:

  1. An easy-to-digest overview of a cool WP philosophy
  2. A highlight of a community success story or a noteworthy contributor
  3. A small list of big things to know about (or do) in the coming weeks

And sometimes, when I just can’t do a topic justice, I’ll have a guest with me to talk through it together.
