S4E2: Mikaela is a lesson
Mikaela is joined by the most English-sounding Irishman you've ever heard for an intensive therapy session. We're talking paper cuts in Swift, those tiny annoyances that, sure, don't stop you in your tracks, but wouldn't it be nice if instead of having to cover ourselves in the coding equivalent of a hundred Band-Aids, Apple just… fixed? Please? Empathise, sympathise, and have a nice little scream into the void with us. Plus there's a roundup of conferences (running one? let us know!) and other Swift news, and we reveal Mikaela's One Weird Trick to actually shipping an app. Essential links…

S4E1: You have to sit down and do it
We’re back! Many things have happened over that swift summer break, so pour a coffee and let’s jump right back in. In this episode, we’re talking Apple Intelligence and other code-complete co-pilots, the redesign of swift.org, shiny M4 Macs, good UI (and UX) design, and the Swift Foundation’s move to empower the community to fix tiny annoyances — but the big topic, of course, is how your adoption of Swift 6 has been going.

S4E9: Apple Does Sometimes Solve Problems (WWDC25 special)
