Final Episode Of WPWeekly
Here it is. The final episode of WordPress Weekly where I interviewed Alex King for about an hour. We discussed all sorts of things related to WordPress such as plugin development, themes, his plugins, trends online, why WordPress is so popular, comparisons between Drupal and WordPress and last but not least, questions and callers chimed in with their own questions.
Thank you to anyone who has downloaded and listened to the show during it’s existence. It’s been an interesting ride for 22 episodes and I’ve learned a lot in regards to broadcasting live within that period of time. Thanks to everyone who left me feedback and commented on the show. Special thanks goes out to everyone who happened to be a semi-co-host on the air with me and thanks for participating live every week.
What will I be doing now? I plan on bringing back Perfcast which is a podcast produced under the Performancing brand which will cover all things blogging. This means we’ll talk about SEO, monetization, plagiarism, copy writing, plugins, themes, news of the week and much, much more. I want to broaden my horizons and Perfcast will be the perfect model for what I want to do with my podcasting skills. I plan on doing the show live as I love community participation. Look for it to be launching somewhere near September.

Bummer to hear it’s the last WordPress weekly. But glad to hear you have a new podcast in the works.
Creating a more generalised podcast seems sensible, since you pigeon holed yourself quite tightly with the WordPress name. There is a lot more to blogging than just WordPress the software.
Good luck with the new venture
I’ll definitely be tuning in once you have it up and running.

As I said in the chatroom, I’ll miss the show but look forward to the new one. A great interview. Wonderful way to wrap it up.

I will, for sure. Keep up the good work my friend!

I think that’s a good step in the right direction, to be honest. Wordpress is great, but it’s a niche within a niche within a niche. Being a few layers out will give you a lot more interesting material, plus you can still talk about Wordpress…
‘Perfcast’ though? Srsly? What a godawful name!

I was sorry to hear that this is your final episode. I had just started listening to it, and thoroughly enjoyed hearing the interview with Alex King.
I listened to some of your other episodes while working (on WordPress of course) and found them to be excellent podcasts for any WordPress enthusiast.
Hopefully you’ll be in a position to restart WordPress Weekly at some point. I’m sure plenty of your listeners will be pleased.
