Customer Reviews
Podcast is good.
It you really what to hear what many developers tend to think without all the whitewash and self control this is a good one to listen too. The profanity is relatively mild but still its there. Mostly a focus on web development technologies. But topics tend to range from whatever the guest has to the latest rant of the hosts. Still the price is right.
Bonus points for swears
This is the best programming podcast on the web, without any of that "family friendly" [censored]. The more Ed rambles, the better it gets.
Refreshingly... frank.
I love this podcast. Chris and Ed are smart, experienced developers with funny no-BS personalities. They have a great schtick and a sardonic perspective that's refreshing in a community as nice as PHP. Avoid like the plague if you are easily offended.
