devtools.fm

Andrew Lisowski and Justin Bennett host devtools.fm, a podcast that zeros in on the tools developers use every day and the people building them. With over 160 episodes, the show has built a solid niche by focusing specifically on developer tooling across the entire stack, from build systems and package managers to testing frameworks and design systems. Each episode typically features a guest who is building or maintaining a notable developer tool. Recent conversations have covered React Native development, community-driven conference organizing, and the intersection of game development and web tooling. The hosts bring genuine technical curiosity and enough hands-on experience to keep conversations grounded in real-world usage rather than abstract theory. The show also offers a paid tier that includes an extra 20 to 30 minutes of uncut interview content, which is a nice touch for listeners who want more depth. Episodes land on YouTube as well as all the usual podcast platforms, and the hosts maintain an active newsletter alongside the show. If you care about the tools that make your development workflow faster and more pleasant, or if you are building tools yourself, devtools.fm is one of the few podcasts that treats developer experience as a first-class topic worth serious discussion.
