In today’s episode, Matt is talking about the new WP Minute+ podcast and why he started it.
The WP Minute, which is a five-minute weekly podcast on WordPress news, continues to be produced with the intention of providing busy WordPress professionals with short-form content. The WP Minute+, will feature longer form conversations and interviews, while the original WP Minute will continue to offer short form news.
Matt Report will live on, focusing on the career side of the digital workforce, through the lens of “blue collar digital workers” who do good work and want to be paid for it.
The episode shared in today’s feed will be a recent interview with Syed Balkhi and his acquisition of Thrive Themes. Be sure to add The WP Minute+ to your podcast apps to get 3 additional episodes featuring Miriam Schwab, Chris Badgett, and Chris Lubkert.
