Breaking Change

Justin Searls

Booking Overview

A primarily solo technology and culture commentary show covering programming, Apple, gaming, and Disney, with occasional long-form interviews with subject-matter experts. Agencies could credibly pitch software engineers, Apple platform specialists, game developers, and Disney or theme-park analysts with firsthand expertise; its infrequent guest format and niche, host-led editorial style make booking medium difficulty.

The fact I recently got upgraded from 30mbps to 2000mbps upstream might allso have something to do with it: welcome to the first ever LIVE episode of Breaking Change!
