Front-End Fire is a weekly podcast about web development.
Hosted by industry veterans Jack Herrington, Paige Niedringhaus, and TJ VanToll, the show covers the trends, tools, and tech shaping the front-end world. Most episodes focus on News and Lightning News, but we also mix in Firestarters and a discussion of What's Making Us Happy. And every so often, we bring in guests doing cool, relevant stuff to share their insights.
We have a fun time every week—join us!
