  • Simple Talks Podcasting in 2026

    I’m in the UK today, having arrived this morning in London. Hopefully, by this time ,I’m in Cambridge and at the Redgate office. Maybe sitting in the foyer alcove, playing a little guitar (like I did last Oct).

    I’m here for a week of Redgate meetings as we kick off the year and it’s good to see colleagues and friends. All of the advocates are here, including Pat Wright, our newest advocate, and we’re hoping to record a Simple Talks podcast episode this afternoon. Maybe a second one if I can get someone from our data team to come in on a Monday.

    Part of this week will be some brainstorming and planning for the year and I’m wondering if there are things you’d like us four advocates (myself, Grant, Kellyn, and Pat) to cover and discuss. Any hot database topics or things you’d want to hear about?

    Leave a comment for me if there are things you want to discuss. Otherwise, we’ll have to come up with things that we think might be of interest to you out there.

  • Episode 11 of Simple Talks: Oracle

    The 11th episode is now live, recorded a few weeks ago at the PASS Data Community Summit. This was a lot of fun, us grabbing a space in the convention center and putting this together.

    The season 1, seventh episode of Simple Talks is out. Check it out, with Ryan as the main host.

    Simple Talks is the Redgate podcast from myself, Grant, Ryan, and Louis. The main page is here, and it has links to the audio versions as well as a the video one.

    Another one recorded in Austin, during the Redgate 25th Birthday week. We tried doing one on the roof, but it was too windy.

    We ended up in the conference room.

    A bit has changed in my AI view since then, with a second trip to San Francisco and people talking AI more and more. I’ll have a few thoughts later in another post on the Small Data SF conference.

  • Simple Talks Episode 5

    The fifth episode of Simple Talks is out.

    Simple Talks is the Redgate podcast from myself, Grant, Ryan, and Louis. The main page is here, and it has links to the audio versions as well as a the video one.

    This episode was recorded in Austin, where we celebrated the Redgate 25th Birthday as a company. Grant, Ryan, and I grabbed a conference room. Ryan and I also grabbed some cowboy hats that were in the office.

    This was a fun one, as both Ryan and Grant have a lot more experience with PostgreSQL, so I was picking their brains on which is better in different ways.

    We recorded a few more in Austin, which are being edited and scheduled. Look for those to come out in the next few months.
