JavaRubberDuck Podcast

Daily developer news for Java, Cloud, and AI — two hosts discussing the stories that matter, HardFork style.

Two AI hosts, real developer news, zero fluff. Every day after the news digest posts go live, a fresh episode covers the top stories across Java, Spring, Cloud, and AI tooling — in a fun, conversational style inspired by Hard Fork from the New York Times.

🤖 This show is AI-generated. Both hosts are synthetic voices produced with Google NotebookLM — there are no human narrators. The discussion is generated from the news digest articles published on this blog (each one written and curated by us, with sources linked in every episode's show notes). Nothing you hear is a recording of a real person.
