Giant Robots, Giant Changes: Season 15 Gets Personal

Sami Birnbaum in United Kingdom

Over 10 years and 550 episodes, our podcast, Giant Robots Smashing into other Giant Robots, has brought you conversations with founders, developers, product thinkers, and industry leaders, diving deep into the worlds of software and business. This season, we’re adding something new to the mix, one episode each month featuring just the hosts.

In these episodes, we’ll step away from interviews to have open, unscripted discussions about our own lives, the challenges we’re navigating, and the topics shaping the tech world. Whether it’s the latest industry trends, personal projects, or reflections on our careers, these conversations will give listeners a behind-the-scenes look at what’s on our minds.

The One with Chad, Will, and Sami

In the first of these episodes thoughtbot hosts Chad, Will and Sami shoot the breeze as they discuss the ins and outs of being a parent and growing up with tech.

The trio discuss how they manage screen-time with their kids as well as themselves, Sami’s internal HTTP coding for his children’s temper tantrums, and other challenges of bringing up their kids in the digital age.

Coding Journeys with Will and Sami

In March’s episode Sami and Will take some time to dive into their coding journeys and the lessons they learnt along the way.

Hear about their ambitions growing up and where they thought they were headed, the motivation, drive and hurdles they overcame to get to where they are today and how impostor syndrome isn’t just a “new job” problem.

Of course, we’re still bringing in incredible guests, but we’re excited to mix things up and create more space for honest, unfiltered conversations. We’d love to hear what you think and if there are topics you’d like us to cover, let us know at hosts@giantrobots.fm

Thanks for being part of the Giant Robots journey. Here’s to another great season!
