About This Podcast
Joshua and Saadia helped pioneer asynchronous and distributed work. So it's only natural that our podcast bucks synchronous conventions. On Async, we take turns to unfold the conversation, one episode at a time, as we chat about technology, app development, and remote work.
A Pretty Good podcast.
