Software Engineering Radio is a podcast targeted at the professional software developer. The goal is to be a lasting educational resource, not a newscast. SE Radio covers all topics software engineering. Episodes are either tutorials on a specific topic, or an interview with a well-known character from the software engineering world. All SE Radio episodes are original content — we do not record conferences or talks given in other venues. SE Radio is brought to you by the IEEE Computer Society and IEEE Software magazine.

Detailed interviews turn emerging software ideas into concrete questions about architecture, reliability, data, and implementation.
Software Engineering Radio builds its interviews around the decisions that make software work in practice. Conversations move from LLM application design and AI-ready data systems to data center control planes, continuous architecture, open map data, and specification-led…
A trillion dollars processed? Your architecture brain wants the transaction count.

Short reviews from the PlayNext desk, based on the episodes we processed.
A clear, practical look at how Sigstore ties software signatures to developer identity.
Sigstore frames software supply-chain security around a practical question: who stood behind a signing action, and when did it happen? Dan Lorenc, co-founder and CEO of ChainGuard, explains a login-with-Google-style path that ties an email address or GitHub identity to a…
A 20,000-bin warehouse gives ERP's AI ambitions a practical test case.
ERP gets more interesting here when it leaves the architecture diagram and turns into operational pressure: production orders, warehouse movement, and supply-chain calls that have to work in real time.
A practical warning about the hidden logging layers that can make observability migration harder than it looks.
Observability tool migration may look clean from the dashboard view, but this episode keeps its focus on the messier layers underneath: software versions, legacy pipelines, and logging structures that quietly shape what teams think they are seeing.
A practical tour of CLI history, implementation languages, and the Go packages behind command line tools.
Modern command line interfaces get a useful history-led treatment, before the discussion shifts into the languages and packages that shape how these tools are built.
A calm, practical look at why design interviews reward structure over named technologies.
This episode frames the system design interview as a test of how an engineer thinks when the answers are not fully spelled out. Sriram Panyam says the format is meant to gauge experience and the ability to work through it, and he makes the case that strong answers start with…
A practical look at low latency voice AI and the tradeoffs behind keeping responses controlled.
Sahej Garg treats low latency AI as a production problem rather than a slogan. As co-founder and CTO of Whisper.ai, and previously an AI engineer at Luminous Computing where he was the fifth employee and AI team lead, he lays out the constraints behind low latency interactive…
A grounded look at why internal platforms need self-service, orchestration, and a clear portal/platform boundary.
The episode treats internal dev platforms as a response to a real operational problem: DevOps teams have to span on-premises, public cloud, and private cloud without making engineers stitch the stack together by hand.
A practical tour of evals, alignment, and the guardrails around AI agents.
Software Engineering Radio uses this conversation to ground multi-agent AI in the practical questions developers have to ship against. Philip Kiley, who leads software developer relations at Base10 and has appeared on the show before, returns to safeguards, the difference…
Long-form interviews on AI coding agents, infrastructure, and security, plus a recurring SED News roundup.
Founders and engineers on AI coding agents like Claude Code, and supply chain security.
Stack Overflow's Ryan Donovan interviews founders and engineers on AI agents, protocols, and dev tools.
Michael Kennedy interviews Python maintainers on packaging, security, web tools, and AI.
Michael Kennedy and Brian Okken run down the week's Python tooling, typing, and packaging news.
Matt Stratton interviews DevOps practitioners on security, platform engineering, and trusting AI-written code.
Robert Blumen speaks with Sriram Panyam about system design interviews and what they are meant to measure.
Gavin Henry speaks with Hector Ramon Jimenez about building Iced, an Elm-inspired cross-platform GUI toolkit for Rust.
Brijesh Ammanath speaks with Yechezkel “Chez” Rabinovich, CTO and co-founder of GroundCover, about migrating observability tools when a company has hundreds or thousands of dashboards, monitors, and integrations.
Robert Blumen interviews Derek Schaefer, author of CLI, A Practical Guide to Creating Modern Command Line Interfaces, on the history and design of modern CLIs.
Dan Lorenc says software supply chain attacks matter because attackers now exploit the path from source code to package registries like NPM and PyPI, not just front-door logins.
Jeremy Jung and Moji Saduji talk through virtual waiting rooms.
Brijesh Amanat speaks with Max Kernsey III and Luniel DeBeer about readiness in software engineering.
This conversation looks at continuous architecture as a practice shaped by feedback.
Jeff Doolittle opens the conversation with Philip Kiley, a returning guest who was previously on SE Radio for a discussion about writing for software developers.
Gregory Kapphammer speaks with Amy Rose and Jennings Anderson about Overture Maps.
Robert Blumen speaks with Sahej Garg about low latency AI applications.
Brooker argues that prompt-first coding can look productive at the start, but things begin to break pretty quickly.
Flavia Saldanha joins SE Radio to talk about data engineering for AI.
Sriram Panyam speaks with Benjamin Briol about internal dev platforms and internal dev portals.
Software Engineering Radio revisits C with Jens Goodstedt and asks what has changed since the last conversation in 2020.
Priyanka Raghavan opens a grounded conversation with Shrujana Merugu about how to build an LLM-based application.
ERP expert Subhajit Paul explains how Enterprise Resource Planning systems form the 'nervous system' of large businesses, walking through core workflows, implementation challenges, and the emerging integration of machine learning and generative AI to create more efficient and predictive operations.
Software Engineering Radio speaks with Brian Cantrill, Oxide Computer Company co-founder and CTO, about why running software on owned infrastructure is still hard in 2024-style data centers.
Dave Thomas discusses the infrastructure behind eBook publishing, covering formats like EPUB and MOBI, the history of Pragmatic Bookshelf's toolchain from LaTeX to Markdown, and the role of AI in editing.
Interview with Martin Kleppmann about local-first software, combining local and cloud collaboration benefits.
