HTML All The Things

Matt Lawrence and Mike Karan run a small web agency together, and their podcast sounds like two coworkers talking shop over coffee. That's the appeal. The show covers the full stack of modern web development, with a heavy focus on JavaScript, React, frameworks like Next and Astro, CSS tricks, and the kind of practical problems you hit when you're actually shipping sites for clients. They also spend real time on the career side: how to freelance, how to price work, what to say in interviews, and when it makes sense to specialize versus stay broad. Episodes tend to run 45 to 60 minutes, and they alternate between the two hosts talking to each other and interviews with developers, educators, and tool makers. Matt is more into the tooling and theory, Mike is more the pragmatic builder, and the mix works. This one is especially good for self-taught developers and bootcamp grads who want a sense of what the day-to-day of the job looks like beyond the tutorials. They release weekly and have a big back catalog worth digging through.
