The ReadME Podcast is a new initiative by GitHub that delves into the narratives behind significant open source projects and the developers responsible for them, offering insights into both their achievements and challenges. Hosted by Brian Douglas and Kathy Korevec, the podcast serves as an extension of The ReadME Project, which aims to highlight stories from the open source community. The first episodes feature conversations with notable figures such as Gina Häußge of OctoPrint, Evan You of Vue, and Scott Hanselman and Mark Downie of Das Blog. The podcast emphasizes the importance of community and collaboration in open source, inviting listeners to contribute by nominating inspirational stories and individuals. It is available on popular platforms like Apple and Spotify, providing a platform for developers to share their journeys and innovations.
