WPWeekly Episode 59 – Roundtable Featuring Peter Westwood

Unfortunately, the interview I had scheduled with Sam Bauers didn’t take place because he couldn’t make it. However, it was awesome to finally have Peter Westwood, one of the core developers join us from the UK to participate in our roundtable discussion of stories. I’ll reschedule Sam for another episode as I know many of you were looking forward to that interview.
