We all have the need to serialize/deserialize objects (either through the "wire" or to file). In this podcast we go and analyze what exactly happens when we create an ObjectOutputStream and write to it, and more importantly what pitfalls are there to avoid (Out ot memory errors, stale object updates, Not Serializable Exceptions, and toenail fungus!). If you ever considered using ObjectOutput/InputStream, or are actively using in your current projects, take a listen!
