That channel, I'm sure, will be pretty active; I'm sure we'll have lots of feedback readily available every single week about what we're doing, what talks we're talking about, and I'm sure that we'll do things around opening it up so that the community can actually participate in topic suggestion, and things like that.... |
**Mikeal Rogers:** I agree. |
**Adam Stacoviak:** Or at least -- last time I've been to a party, it wasn't just me. \[laughter\] But to reiterate - live every Friday, if you're on the Pacific Coast; West Coast - noon; if you're on Eastern, it's 3 PM. It will be live at changelog.com/live. We're on Twitter... Our Twitter looks jacked up right now, s... |
We've got some awesome music from Breakmaster Cylinder; we've worked so hard with Breakmaster to get this music to be true, true party. Any feedback y'all wanna share about your thoughts on this music? |
**Mikeal Rogers:** Can we listen to it right now? |
**Adam Stacoviak:** Oh, yeah. |
**Mikeal Rogers:** Yes, okay. So play it, and then we'll give it some feedback. |
**Adam Stacoviak:** Give me a second, let me set this up. Alright, here we go. |
\[31:52\] \[music playing\] |
**Jerod Santo:** I'm bouncing already. |
**Mikeal Rogers:** I know! |
**Jerod Santo:** It gets funky, too. \[laughter\] |
\[music ends\] |
**Mikeal Rogers:** Oh, wow... That's awesome! I'm so pumped! I'm actually disappointed that now I don't get to do an episode of JS Party. |
**Jerod Santo:** I know, right? Like, I'm ready to party right now! |
**Mikeal Rogers:** It's getting me in the mood. |
**Adam Stacoviak:** Yes. Well, the cool thing is we're actually setting up a soundboard, so when we have this show going on, we can actually play that music live for everyone. One thing we talked about doing, which is unplanned for this "meet Mikeal" conversation was taking questions from the community, especially if t... |
**Mikeal Rogers:** That's awesome. |
**Adam Stacoviak:** We played the full track for you - it's a minute and forty-five seconds long. I hope you love it, we've put a lot of work into this. The album art was meant to show you that this is truly a party. A disco ball... You can't not party without a disco ball, okay? You have to have a disco ball, or it's ... |
Alright... Mikeal, anything else you wanna share with the listeners who are either brand new to this show as we're launching it, or coming to this first episode months down the road, catching up? |
**Mikeal Rogers:** \[34:52\] Good question. No, I can't think of anything, actually... Welcome to the party! |
**Adam Stacoviak:** Yeah, welcome to the party, for sure. I just hope that our ideas today are true three months from now. |
**Mikeal Rogers:** Yeah, I think that we're just gonna kind of follow where people want us to go. I think that we should also not be afraid to try some stuff out. In the planning for this show, we tried a lot of stuff that didn't quite work. It was a good idea, but it wasn't quite there, or ready, or whatever. I even w... |
I like the idea of having lots of different modes of engagement. It'd be great to set up some audio voicemail service or something where we can just get listener-asked questions that we then ask on the air; that'd be great. |
**Adam Stacoviak:** There's two ways that can happen, actually... We have one way, which is probably the easiest way; it may not be the long-term preferred way, but you can call 888-974-24-54 (888-974-CHLG, for Changelog). So you can call that and leave us a voicemail. We use Grasshopper for our virtual voicemail syste... |
Or you can simply just open up QuickTime or something and just record something and then email it to somebody or drop it on Dropbox and tweet us, and we'll grab those. We'll find a more formalized way for it in the future, but if you're listening to this and you want a way, that's a good way to start. We'll go from the... |
In lieu of getting this thing wrapped up, we've got live every Friday at noon Pacific, 3 PM EST, Changelog.com/live. Follow @JSPartyFM on Twitter, or also head to changelog.com/jsparty. Subscribe, don't miss a show. |
Mikeal, this was fun. Thank you for doing this, man. |

**Adam Stacoviak:** Alright, we're here with Rachel White. Rachel, I have told Jerod this a couple times... I was really, really impressed when I met you at Node Interactive. You're just such a fun, fun person, and I love it. |
**Rachel White:** Thank you! |
**Adam Stacoviak:** I've never met anybody more fun than you. You have such a passion for what you do, and a care for inspiring people, and we need people like you in this world. |
**Rachel White:** Thanks! I try and have fun and inspire people with all the stuff that I do, and I'm just lucky enough to be able to have the job where they pay me to do that, which is really great. |
**Jerod Santo:** I can back up what Adam is saying, because he has practically nagged me with how fun you are. Every time your name comes up, he's like "Yeah, Rachel, she's so much fun!" I'm like, "Alright, I get it, man... I get it. She's fun." I listened to your Spotlight episode -- by the way, for those interested..... |
**Rachel White:** Thank you so much, I'm glad to hear that. I worry a lot that people think I'm mean... |
**Jerod Santo:** Oh, really? |
**Rachel White:** Yeah... I think that that is because of the way that I'm passionate about things; it's kind of hard to get a gauge through Twitter interactions with 140 characters, so my passion can come off as aggression sometimes, I guess. |
**Jerod Santo:** What kind of passion are we talking about? Where do you get yourself into most trouble? |
**Rachel White:** Oh, god... Definitely politics, and feminism stuff, and diversity, and inclusivity... I'll get very passionate and (I guess) aggressive about those subjects, and then people will be like, "I don't wanna hear about this. Just talk about code", and I don't wanna just talk about code, because I'm a human... |
**Jerod Santo:** Sure. You're not gonna offend people with how they should require modules, or why Service Workers is not implemented in Safari, or anything like that. |
