Fifteen years ago I started a podcast called Developing Perspective. After four years of doing that show and then 10 years of recording Under the Radar with Marco, I thought my podcasting had come to a natural end.
Well, a lot has changed in the world of indie app development. 😳
So I'm dusting off my microphone again and starting to podcast once more. My first episode wrestles with why being an indie app developer right now feels so pivotal, in both senses of the word.

My goodness has a lot changed since I last published a solo podcast. So now there is a YouTube video version (not that I'd expect anyone to want to look at my face while they listen 🙈), a version on Spotify, and and a legible transcript.
Not really sure yet about what I'll end up settling on with respect to format or frequency. Though I have a long list of episode topics already, so I should have a while to work that out.

@_Davidsmith I don’t get podcasts that could be audio only that are now on YouTube a then again 1- I’m an old radio guy and 2- no one listens to my podcast so I’m the wrong person to ask

@_Davidsmith good to see you back! Yes, it is a pivotal and interesting time. You mention being reflective rather than reactive when seeing other people’s perspectives. I find it useful to do this for my own perspective: why do I think and feel the way I do? Where does that come from?
Also, miss your intro - you still made it shorter than 15 minutes, and this was a great way to get started 💛
