Significant Changes in the Changelog Podcast Universe

The Changelog podcast is entering a new phase in 2025 with a strategic shift in focus. Starting in January, the production of several podcasts, including GoTime, JS Party, ShipIt, and Practical AI, will cease to allow for a concentrated effort on enhancing the Changelog News, interviews, and friend segments. This decision, while challenging, is aimed at fostering space for more experimental content and deeper explorations in coding. Each discontinued podcast will have spin-offs or continuations, ensuring the community remains engaged and informed.
