JavaScript Jabber

JavaScript Jabber has been running since 2013, which makes it one of the longest-lived shows about the language still publishing new episodes. Charles Max Wood hosts with a rotating panel of working JavaScript developers, and they bring in a guest each week, usually the creator of a library or framework, an engineer at a company doing interesting frontend work, or someone writing a book on the ecosystem. The format is conversational: the panel asks questions, pushes back when they disagree, and shares what they're seeing at their own jobs. Because the show has such a long history, you can find episodes on pretty much any JavaScript topic you care about, from the early days of Angular and Ember through the rise of React, Vue, Svelte, TypeScript adoption, build tooling wars, and more recent conversations about edge runtimes and AI-assisted coding. Episodes usually end with a "picks" segment where panelists recommend books, tools, shows, or hobbies, which is a nice break from pure tech talk. Good for developers who want to stay current without reading a dozen newsletters a week.
