What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

Nathan is so good at having guests start with the basics and build from there. I usually find myself somewhere in the middle, but there's always some essential little nugget I've missed along the way. I learn so much and feel like I'm filling in any missing gaps in my knowledge base.

Micgrafx · Oct 2022

I’ve been an open source developer and WordPress geek since 2012. This podcast is exceptional—there’s valuable, relevant conversation with humor and good spirits. Compared to some other WP podcasts that are cut, dry and short, WPWeekly is both informative and entertaining. I feel like I’m hanging with friends when listening to the show. The hosts are also not afraid to speak their mind and tell it like it is concerning the WordPress community. -Chris

Christopher !Important · Jan 2019

This has become my new favorite WordPress podcast. Jeff Chandler and John James Jacoby talk about all that is going on in the WordPress world as well as interviewing some pretty cool people in the community. Their knowledge gives a great point of view on what is happening in the community. Makes me feel like I am sitting in a coffee shop with them. PS - WordCamp East Troy was the best ever!!!!!!

After listening to yesterday's episode, it sounds like you guys need to hear some fan love! I have checked out many WordPress podcasts and subscribe to a few, but yours is THE ONE I look forward to each week. Always fresh information presented in a heartfelt way, accessible to anyone with knowledge of WP as a user/site owner, developer or designer. I learn something new in every episode. Thank you for your work!
