About Hallway Chats

Hallway Chats is a podcast that introduces the unique designers, developers, marketing consultants, content creators, project managers, and more who make our community the flourishing environment we love.

This new endeavor will share the mic with the unsung women and men in our community who struggle, and succeed, in life every day – or at least on most days.

Topher and Cate aim to share advice, tips, and camaraderie that ultimately lead to a greater sense of inclusion and belonging. The shared stories, challenges and successes will empower listeners to understand that their own challenges and hurdles are shared by a wider community.

Who Are the Guests?

In a nutshell, we’ll interview anyone who has not yet popped onto the radar of the wider WordPress community. We’re specifically looking to meet people who are making WordPress work for them in a way that may not garner global or national attention.

We’re eager to talk to anyone who works with and relies upon WordPress in their work. We’d love to chat with all of the following:

  • Designers
  • Developers
  • Marketing professionals
  • Content generators and copywriters
  • Project managers
  • Anyone who considers themselves part of the WordPress community

What Format Has the Show Embraced?

  • 30 minutes long, give or take
  • A interview-style conversation with Topher, Cate, and their guest
  • Pretty informal conversation – like the kind you’d have in a hallway chat at a WordCamp

Is the Show Live?

We pre-record and edit each episode for the following reasons:

  • We hope to host people from all over the world, in the many different time zones on our planet
  • We appreciate that people have different world schedules
  • Topher and Cate go to bed too early to do any sort of late night (after 8:00 pm) show
