John’s Rant: What to rant about?
This week I talk about the #wpdrama going around in particular Matt’s bad actions in my viewpoint about the thesis domain name and how he went about violating his own ideals.
And for the first time in 200 episodes I am back recording on my own as Marcus has had to step away for personal reasons. Hopefully he will be back one day.
Also some talk about the issue surrounding auto updates considering the fisaco of this past week.

A real time and stress saver
in iTunes by mattmcleod2 from Australia on July 8, 2015
To be able to have you guys review 6 plugins each week and give them a total run down has saved me so much time and stress over recent months. On top of that having an awesome podcast format and easy listening style just completes the package. Very excited about your future book releases from Matt @ australianbackpackingpodcast.com
