Matt Mullenweg was recently on the ChangeLog podcast where he talked about JavaScript for WordPress, REST APIs, Calypso, amongst other (mostly technical) subjects.I haven’t yet listened to this in full, and it’s long, but it’s an open source centric podcast that seems worth listening to, at least by judging the first half of it that I’ve heard.

Matt has also posted his annual “What’s in My Bag” post, for the travel gear nerds out there. If you’re a traveller yourself and looking for ideas from a fellow tech traveler, he’s as experienced as anyone.
