What is Talking Postgres?

Talking Postgres with Claire Giordano is a monthly podcast where we talk about the human side of Postgres, databases, and open source. Previously called “Path To Citus Con”, each of the 17 episodes published so far includes 1 or 2 amazing guests from the Postgres world. As for the new Talking Postgres name, it’s been called “a sensible move”, “a great name”, and “more fitting”—since the episodes are all about Postgres things.

• Talking Postgres is available via most podcast apps and also on YouTube.
• Catch up on the past 17 episodes at talkingpostgres.com.

Podcast is recorded LIVE on Discord

Usually on the 1st or 2nd Wednesday of the month, we record the podcast live on Discord. So while most people download and listen to episodes after they are published, you can also join the live recordings on the Microsoft Open Source Discord to be part of the parallel live text chat. The text chat is quite fun.
