January 25, 2025 Ryan Ike breaks down music and sound design for games!
Join Ryan Ike and me talking about music and sound design in games!
Ryan was my 2024 top listened to artist on Spotify. I can't get the Where The Water Tastes Like Wine out of my head. I think it's brilliant! This discussion is both about the soundtracks in particular as well as about making music for games - Ryan explains this to me as a non-musical person. A great starter for everybody interested!

September 21, 2024 Casey Muratori on his work experience
I had the honor to chat with Casey Muratori - one of the most inspiring figure in the programming world. I followed Casey's work for a long time now and I've learned a lot from him. In this discussion I ask a lot about how we got where he is now - where did he learn to program, how his work looked like, how did he handle projects, when did he switch away from OOP.
Casey created a lot of educational material, but one course stands out: Performance Aware Programming Series on https://www.computerenhance.com/ - I'm a happy subscriber, I love this course, you should check it out too, if you want to understand what makes your program go brr. (runs fast)
