April 06, 2021 Episode 7: Lars Wikman and Building it Right
In this episode Lars introduces the topic of building things the right way and brings up his perspective on what the BEAM and Elixir are doing well. We get into the cultural aspects, the design and the layering of brick upon brick that makes this community and ecosystem special. Why is it that people build so ambitiously on the BEAM?
Then Sophie asks for zero-preparation podcast recommendations.

March 11, 2021Episode 5: Bruce Tate and Turtles All the Way Down
For this week's episode, we talk to Bruce Tate, member of the Elixir community since the language turned 1.0. As one of the main people behind Elixir's publishing scene, Bruce was the editor of the ElixirSource line of books for the Pragmatic Bookshelf through most of its history. He is a coauthor for Programming Phoenix, Designing Elixir Systems with OTP, and Adopting Elixir, and the chief author and content developer for Groxio, LLC.
The episode starts as Bruce tells his story spanning the early days of Java, Ruby, and eventually Elixir. Along the way, he talks about writing books, and how Seven Languages in Seven Weeks led to an introduction to Joe Armstrong, and marked the beginning of his great love for programming languages.
Along the way, Bruce and Lars discuss the PETAL stack, and his experiences teaching Groxio liveview classes. Bruce and Sophie also discuss writing at the Pragmatic Bookshelf together, and teaching together using the CRC pattern.

February 23, 2021 Episode 3: Alex Koutmos and Observability
In this episode of Beam Radio, Alex Koutmos takes the hot seat as the panel learns about Alex's programming roots, his personal Elixir journey, and what excites him about programming on the Beam. Alex then goes on to discuss the importance of application observability and how the Beam (and specifically the projects in the Beam-Telemetry GitHub organization) allow you to easily achieve application observability. He then goes on to dive into his PromEx project which aims to bring effortless Prometheus and Grafana monitoring to Elixir applications.
Alex is currently a Senior Engineer at Boulevard, the author of the Elixir Twitter Tip Series, a frequent blogger at akoutmos.com and the author of the PromEx and Doctor libraries (as well as a few others).

February 23, 2021Episode 1: Lars Wikman and the BEAM
In this first episode of Beam Radio we give a brief presentation of the hosts. You can also read more about us on beamrad.io. As we go through the episodes we will give a deeper introduction to each host so you know a bit about who we are. For this first episode we introduce Lars Wikman and then he gets to set the topic. This episode's topic will be the idea that the BEAM can be your entire application.
Lars is an independent consultant who runs the company Underjord. He blogs plenty and writes a weekly newsletter covering both Elixir and the software development profession in general. He lives in Sweden with wife and child. They aspire to grow vegetables on the west coast.
For the topic we get into what it can mean for the BEAM to manage all or most of your application. Why is it different from other runtimes?
