The Changelog: Software Development, Open Source is a podcast from Changelog Media. Its feed describes it as "software's best weekly news brief, deep technical interviews & talk show," and episode descriptions refer to a host named Adam. Recent episodes arrive about one to two times a month (4 in the last 90 days, as of October 2026) and usually run about 105 minutes.
The feed mixes three kinds of episodes, visible in the titles: long interviews (tagged "Interview"), a "Friends" talk-show series, and short "News" episodes of about 9 to 11 minutes. The interviews are with founders and engineers building developer tools and infrastructure.
Recent titles and descriptions touch on email infrastructure, Postgres hosting, Cloudflare's MCP work, canary tokens, Tailscale and AI coding agents, so open source, security and AI-assisted development all come up regularly.
Our take: developers and engineering leads who like long, unhurried conversations with the people behind open source projects and developer products. The short News episodes suit listeners who only want a quick roundup.
