Interviews at the Java J-Fall 2023 Conference

I had a lot of interesting talks with Java experts since I started producing the Foojay Podcast. But when I asked the organizers of the J-Fall conference, if I could do some kind of live broadcast at their event, I hadn't imagined it would be such an amazing experience! During the day I had 29 interviews, which I all broadcasted live on multiple websites (YouTube, LinkedIn, and Twitter) with the amazing restream system.

I combined all these interviews into four episodes which you can either watch with video on YouTube or listen as a podcast with your favorite app.

On this page, you find an overview of the four J-Fall episodes. All the Foojay podcasts can be found on foojay.io/today/category/podcast.
