meta-x subscribe

You will know if this podcast is for you just by the title and the content is excellent. Haven’t enjoyed a tech podcast this much since PerlCast which was long ago. Subscribed as a patron. I would have been from the beginning had a known about this podcast before now. Keep making new episodes, please.

Must keep posting

Please keep the podcast going. This podcast is deeper than Emacs, as it threads unto the creator’s philosophy regarding tech, creativity and of course the world that surrounds Emacs; without the cultish negativity that can rise from it. Highly recommend!

Really nicely done

I just listened to the pilot of this series and am really looking forward to the rest (and hope the host keeps producing new shows!). As a relatively new emacs user -- who went from Sublime, to vim, to Spacemacs, and then back to "pure" emacs -- I really relate to Rakim's journey in being obsessed with the right tools. It made me smile to hear someone who had wrestled with the same internal challenges about productivity, and the endless "tweaking" that we can often fall into, and the joy of discovering (and breaking) new things. Keep it up!
