Unit testing, Docker and Django -- a podcast episode

This is a sneak peak at the next episode of my product development podcast, Platform. It originally existed to chart the development of my product, and morphed into discussions on podcasting in general. Now I'm rebooting it to focus specifically on the tech involved in building a web product, without the benefit of VC funding or incubators.

If you're interested in the show, you can get the RSS feed at http://feeds.podiant.co/platform/rss.xml or find it in your favourite podcast app.

In the episode I talk about my adventures in migrating a fairly large app from running inside Vagrant and VirtualBox to running in Docker, and share my thoughts on unit testing and the -- to my mind -- unhelpful rhetoric around it.

The episode will go out on Sunday 4th, and I've got a few topics lined up for the next one, but would love your feedback.

Thanks!
