Here are some old articles I wrote based on set of podcasts I did while I was on the Oracle Groundbreakers Team, which was the name of the company’s developer marketing team at the time. The articles give a little background on each podcast, which was an interesting exercise to produce. Generally, I’d just record a video or audio interview (I’ve done 400 of them) and then post. I rarely slowed down long enough to write a few hundred words summarizing the conversation. These interviews were recorded before I joined the Java Developer Relations team in 2022 and they were all Zoom conversations.
