A Special Announcement from Streaming Audio

After recording 64 episodes and featuring 58 amazing guests, the Streaming Audio podcast series has amassed over 130,000 plays on YouTube in the last year. We're extremely proud of these achievements and feel that it's time to take a well-deserved break. Streaming Audio will be taking a vacation! We want to express our gratitude to you, our valued listeners, for spending 10,000 hours with us on this incredible journey.

Rest assured, we will be back with more episodes! In the meantime, feel free to revisit some of our previous episodes. For instance, you can listen to Anna McDonald share her stories about the worst Apache Kafka® bugs she’s ever seen, or listen to Jun Rao offer his expert advice on running Kafka in production. And who could forget the charming backstory behind Mitch Seymour's Kafka storybook, Gently Down the Stream?

These memorable episodes brought us joy, and we're thrilled to have shared them with you. As we reflect on our accomplishments with pride, we also look forward to an exciting future. Until we meet again, happy listening!

Streaming Audio has had a big year. We've released 64 podcasts and hosted 58 guests. Our podcast videos have been played on YouTube over 130,000 times. We're proud of these accomplishments and we're ready to take a break. Streaming Audio is going on vacation. We'd like to thank you, our listeners, for all of your time. That's over 10,000 hours together listening to our podcast. We want to assure you that we'll be back. And in the meantime, if you miss us, why not listen to some of our previous episodes? There is the time that Anna McDonald told us about the scariest Kafka bugs that she'd ever seen. And remember the time that Jun Rao offered his recommendations for running Kafka in production? Or when Mitch Seymour gave us the backstory for his Kafka storybook, Gently Down the Stream? We really enjoyed making these podcasts and we hope you enjoyed listening to them too. We're looking forward to jumping back in. See you later.
