Back in March, just prior to lockdown I was lucky enough to snare an hour of Kurt Elster's time to chat about his beginnings, his journey into specialising in Shopify, and how he has turned his podcast into the biggest source of leads to his business Ethercycle.

Over the first few months of 2020, I conducted a number of interviews with agency owners and app developers in the Shopify ecosystem.

The majority of these were recorded prior to the changes we have all experienced due to Covid-19. As such they don't touch on the situation we find ourselves in but I hope that the topics and conversations are a pleasant distraction and still relevant to all of us working in the Shopify ecosystem.

First up is Shopify app developer and founder of FORSBERG+two Björn Forsberg.

Episode 6 sees our changelog monitor extraordinaire Kieran highlight a whole bunch of interesting ch-ch-ch-changes that we should all be getting excited about!

As we all adjust to a temporary new reality and, for some, new ways of working our usual schedule has taken a little bit of a battering. However, we managed to slot in a socially distant recording a few days ago and have every intention (children and animals permitting) of carrying on with regular podcast episodes. Thanks for listening.

What happened in "The Dam" is not staying in "The Dam"! In this episode of The Default Podcast Keir and Kieran share what they heard and learnt at Shopify Pursuit in Amsterdam with a particular focus on the keynote from Shopify CTO Jean-Michel Lemieux.

In the third episode of The Default Podcast Keir interviews Michael Shannon of Pixelcabin and the two K's discuss the end of Slate, highlight the new style developer docs, and ponder the release of Shopify's new geolocation app!

In this episode of The Default Podcast Keir and Kieran discuss some recent browser and checkout changes developers should be aware of, delve into the world of "launch engineering", and round out with a bit of history on the upcoming De:brief event taking place in Toronto directly after Shopify Unite.

In their first feature-length edition Keir and Kieran share insights and discuss tools to help you measure the performance of your Shopify Themes Liquid templates.
