I’ve listened to this podcast, and some episodes multiple times, and it is such good content but not over my head. Being < 1yr into being a software development I love hearing what all the guest are doing in the React ecosystem. Chantastic asks great questions and really helps to understand the need for what the guests are sharing. Also, I have found myself grooving to the intro/outro music on more occasions than you would believe. Thanks!

This is the best possible place to get react news. The host is always very engaging and informative. I learn new things every time I listen to it. I love chantastic’s discord community too! They are very welcoming and super supportive community. Also you gotta sign up to his newsletter if you wanna have a better understanding of react.

Michael consistently has engaging conversations with the best and most interesting people from around the React world. Well worth any React developer’s time.

I absolutely love this podcast. Chantastic is a great host who is genuine and amiable. The variety of guests on the show give listeners a wide breadth of knowledge into the current state of the JavaScript ecosystem

One of the best podcasts to listen to and get inspired to work in web dev, particularly with React. Great insight from the guests and host.

Everyweek I look forward to Chantastic gracing my ears with reasonable opinions and interesting news! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Great hosts, awesome guests, very well put together. Both hosts Michael Jackson and Michael Chan are very considerate of the listener’s perspective. They ask great questions and help rephrase the guests’ answers for further clarification. I also appreciate that there’s a balance between technical discussions, insights regarding career paths, and relatable personal stories. I like that we get to know the guests not just from what they’ve accomplished, but also as people. I would describe this podcast as inspiring, insightful, and passionate.

I’m the host but I can still gush about the guests 😅 We have such talented folks in our industry. It’s an honor to chat with the week-to-week.

I love the people Michael talks to. Amazing list of guests on this show. Very insightful stories of how people go into web development. Inspiring!

Great podcast content but would be better if it was mixed properly. The host voice is clear and audible but then the guest voice is like 10db quieter, which is difficult listening to in a car.

Michael Chan is am excellent host and he consistently has high quality conversations with reputable guests. I've learned so much. I hope it never ends!!

If you're into web development, then this is a must listen, especially if you are interested in React. The host is tremendous and I always look forward to new episodes.

Really enjoy listening to a whole range of guests on this show. From React core developers to just interesting people in the Web Dev world who use React in some of their projects.

Great podcast!

The host is realllllly hard to deal with. I feel like his responses and even some of the questions he asks don't make sense, and he's always trying to wrap it around to his own experience or React Router instead of trying to really understand the POV of the guest. The addition of the cohost has been great - the questions he ask are thoughtful and interesting. I'll continue to listen to the podcast because the guests are wonderful and I learn a lot. I just hope the host continues to evolve his approach.

I loved hearing Nicolas' thoughts, but your responses were hard to swallow. Most saliently, you called his framework "React Native Web" over and over again despite him saying "React Native for Web" every single time. It's literally in quotes on his github page. Whatever you thought the framework's name was going into the interview, and for whatever reason you thought it, when your guest describes their own work with one name USE THAT NAME. You also confused his statements frequently and put words in his mouth that he didn't say. For example, he clearly said his problem with the CSS framework replacing the Style object was that it would add overhead, not that it would make low-level styling impossible (no web framework has that power unless it's malicious). His point was that if you're writing a framework that does low-level CSS operations under one paradigm (React Native for Web), it's wasteful to load an entirely different framework that does the same work under a different paradigm (CSS framework). It was awkward hearing him at first correct you ("I'm not saying it's a bad abstraction") and then just resign himself to your inability to get what he was saying ("Sure, it's possible [it makes things impossible]"). I'm just a lowly web developer with little React experience and I was frustrated. I can only imagine what it would be like for people more knowledgeable or involved. Please, either listen better, or after the interview ask the interviewee if they'd like you to preamble the podcast with any corrections of what you said. </endRant> I say all this with a genuine desire to enjoy future episodes of your podcast. ✌️
