## What is Talking Postgres? [Talking Postgres with Claire Giordano](https://talkingpostgres.com) is a monthly podcast where we talk about the human side of Postgres, databases, and open source. Previously called “Path To Citus Con”, each of the 17 episodes published so far includes 1 or 2 amazing guests from the Postgres world. As for the new Talking Postgres name, it’s been called “a sensible move”, “a great name”, and “more fitting”—since the episodes are all about Postgres things.
+ Talking Postgres is available [via most podcast apps](https://talkingpostgres.com/) and also [on YouTube](https://aka.ms/TalkingPostgres-playlist). + Catch up on the past 17 episodes at [talkingpostgres.com](https://talkingpostgres.com). + You can also [subscribe](https://talkingpostgres.com/subscribe) to make sure you never miss an episode.

So while most people download and listen to episodes after they are published, you can also [join the live recordings](https://aka.ms/TalkingPostgres-cal) on the [Microsoft Open Source Discord](https://aka.ms/open-source-discord) to be part of the parallel live text chat. The text chat is quite fun. ## Guests scheduled for future episodes + **David Rowley** for Ep18 on Tue Aug 6 at 4:00pm PDT (an unusual timeslot due to David’s geography) to discuss [How I got started as a developer & in Postgres](https://aka.ms/TalkingPostgres-Ep18-cal) + **Melanie Plageman** and **Richard Guo** in Sep or Nov (date TBD) to discuss [Becoming a Postgres committer](https://www.postgresql.org/message-id/df222085-2248-4d89-8935-256a9c384878%40postgresql.org) 😊 + **Tom Lane** for Ep20 on Wed Oct 9 at 10:00am PDT to discuss [How I got started as a developer & in Postgres](https://aka.ms/TalkingPostgres-Ep20-cal)
