NEW RELEASE

Allan Knabe

We’re continuing to kick off the new year with Allan Knabe, the CEO and Co-Founder of apiable.io, an API portal that’s helping to smooth out the creation process. Building an API is harder than it looks, but it doesn’t always have to be such a difficult task.

Welcome back! We’re bringing in 2025 (and with it a new, exciting lineup of guests) with an oldie but a goldie - Eoin Boylan.

Phil Leggetter

Top tip: if you’re thinking of getting into DevRel, just know that you will hate boxes of t-shirts for the rest of your life. Or at least that’s how today’s guest, Phil Leggetter feels about them.

Zameer Fouzan

Today we’re talking observability, open source, developer education and the politics of conference speaking. And we’re doing it all with our amazing guest, Zameer Fouzan from New Relic.

Jim Bennett

Coding is like spinning plates, and before you even start you've gotta be spinning seven of them. Today's guest is Jim Bennett, the Developer Advocate at Pieces For Developers, where they’re trying to make that plate spinning act run just a little smoother.

John Gilhuly is the chief developer advocate at Arize.com, an AI observability monitoring platform, and he joins us for a great discussion on the rapidly evolving AI space, and what that means for a company built to work with LLM applications.

Stacey Kruczek

When Stacey Kruczek joined Aerospike.com, their community building needed a little TLC from a developer relations expert. These days, the community is 12,000 people strong, and she knows exactly how to prove DevRel’s business value. In this episode, we chat with Stacey about all this and more.

Ed Stephinson

Today, we’re talking to Ed Stephinson who should serve as a shining beacon to those wishing to turn their side hustle into their main hustle. Ed is the Founder of Sailhouse.dev, which he has been building into a thriving startup all while balancing a separate 9-5 job throughout!

Colm Doyle 2

Today we’re speaking once again to the wonderful Colm Doyle, who you may remember from his appearance on Fireside early last year. It’s so wonderful to catch up with Colm, as he’s now the Engineering Manager at Personio, and as such has some fresh new perspectives to give us.

Joe Batten

Joe Batten joins us for a deep dive into the world of RevOps!
