Started listening after hearing about them on Techmeme Ride Home. This podcast is well done, the hosts seem knowledgeable and are interesting to listen too. If you’re a dev (or adjacent) and interested in topics related to MS technologies (Vs code, C#, etc), this seems to be a great podcast. I’m leaving a positive review because it’s definitely a 5 star podcast and I like to support good content. The only reason I don’t subscribe to this podcast is that I just don’t happen to be overly interested in most of those topics they cover and I already have a backlog of other podcasts that cover topics I’m more interested in. I’ll definitely tune in occasionally depending on the topic.

Very Knowledgeable hosts. If you’re a software developer you’ll learn a lot listening to this podcast.

I’ve been listening since the early days and the guys consistently provide great shows. The sound quality is fantastic (which is not something all tech podcasts can say) and they feel like old friends at this point! Keep up the great work.

I started listening to Frank and James when I was looking for .Net related podcasts to listen to but they also talk about so many other cool topics. This and the .net rocks podcasts are my favorite podcasts and both have great hosts with great chemistry :)

Truly an entertaining technology centered podcasts. It’s like listening to a couple of friends joke and talk about various technologies. PS. any thoughts about changing the podcast name to “we love Apple events”? lol

James and Frank have that perfect best-bud chemistry. Every episode leaves me feeling inspired and eager to learn about all there is in the many rabbit holes of tech and software. Both hosts are super knowledgeable in so many aspects of their work and never fail to keep things interesting. And finally because i want to gush just a little bit, Frank is honestly my hero and pretty much all I aspire to be as a person and developer/electrical engineer. I also can’t help but love that James says “for all intents and purposes” enough that it’s basically his catch phrase.

Fun and educational podcast in a conversational format. James and Frank don’t lecture down to the listener, but talk through issues and compare and contrast approaches on how they solve relevant mobile development issues. Love the cheesy 80’s intro music!

This is a great software engineering podcast that I listen to on a regular basis while driving to / from work. Helps me keep up to date on a wide array of topics and enables me to learn more about specific areas of the .NET ecosystem. Looking forward to more great podcasts from Frank and James in the future!

This is one of my few must-listen-now podcasts. Even with a strong focus on mobile development, the breadth of topics Frank and James cover is enough to keep me, a lowly web application developer, coming back for more every week. Keep up the great work, guys.

Look: I'm a web UI guy, doing mostly Angular/Typescript. Server tech is Java, Node or Python. Nothing I do has to do with .Net, Xamarin or iOS. And yet I truly look forward to this podcast as much as any out there. James & Frank talk about all sorts of interesting things, sometimes incredibly nerdy and specific to some .Net feature or whatever, other times it's very general purpose. But it's always interesting, light in tone but strong & deep in value. One of my very favorite podcasts and I look forward to it every week!

Merge Conflict is the most entertaining and informative podcast I have ever listened to. Frank and James have amazing chemistry. They cover the latest topics in .NET and mobile development. The show has the perfect balance of technical and practical discussions. If you’re new to the show I recommend starting with a “lightening talk” episode (any multiple of 10). They’re lots of fun! Thanks to James and Frank for making an amazing podcast!

And devs in general. I enjoy the style of the show. It’s relaxed and funny but gets through a LOT of useful insights. I enjoy the way Frank and James can be super opinionated about things but in a self-deprecating way that makes it totally ok. Opinions are important, after all that’s why I listen.

Love the show, just started listening after you mentioned it at build this year and I’m really glad you did.

James and Frank are a delight to listen to, this podcast rocks! Always something fresh and interesting and the format is wonderful, if you want to keep up with tech, have a listen, I have been an avid follower since the first episode!

If you work with C# code, especially in the Mobile space, this is the podcast you need to listen to. Edit: Thanks for reading this. And yes, that title was meant to be a trolling. Nearly every episode gets at least a mention of AR/VR or ML.

There are only a few TV shows that I watch when they air like Game of Thrones and Walking Dead...and only one podcast...Merge Conflict! Every Monday I look forward to hanging out with James and Frank. The topics and banter are awesome...well...except for 37 straight ML and AI shows lol. Great job guys. Real talk from real devs.

And stuff I didn’t know I should know. Great job, guys!

Solid developer content without the drama. Specially helpful for Xamarin developers. Keep up the good work James & Frank!

This podcast is so essential to listen to if you want to get into Xamarin development. I've learned to much from these guys and I can't thank them enough for creating a podcast that helps beginner level app developers achieve greatness. Keep up the good works guys! Thanks for everything you contribute to the developer community.

I'm not even sure I remember where I first heard about this podcast, but just hearing the guys' names - whose libraries I've been using for years now - was enough to get my attention. Not every episode is of interest to me, but even those there will be a snippet of "oh really? let me google that for more!" The ones that *are* of interest will often enough end with some hours of "download new package, try some sample code, go to bed at 3am". :)

Good stuff

This is such a great podcast! It's always very interesting and love that the hosts talk about developer culture, not just programming.

The topics vary, but it's something more Xamarin dev's should be listening to.

There are a lot of podcasts out there for mobile developers, Merge Conflict is the best of the lot.

The episodes are informative + fun to listen to. Good weekly "techy" dose to start your week.

These guys rock.

This podcast is a delight to listen to. Frank and James are experienced and knowledgeable but remain honest where they are still learning. This makes for great friendly banter and discovery.

Look forward to the show every week. Keep up the great work!

A couple of "real" devs talking, as opposed to other podcasts where people are more interested in talking/pontificating about architecture that actually sitting down and coding.

James and Frank merge to provide great development insight. Love it!

James and Frank talk about a variety of very interesting topics, sharing their perspective and experience. I really like the style and format of this show - they just kick back and chat about things they are clearly passionate about. I really enjoy listening to it - one of the only podcasts I can actually run with :). Keep up the awesome work guys!! -Ed

As someone who is often conflicted about his merges, this really speaks to me.

I really love the experience and breadth of knowledge these guys bring to the discussions, just wish the intros didn't sound like the start of a dating podcast :-)

I've enjoyed listening to James as guest on other podcasts and on video posts, but I had no idea what I was missing not having heard Frank before. The hosts have an awesome rapport. You can tell these guys speak from experience. I can learn more about mobile programming in general, and Xamarin in particular, while I'm mowing the lawn, exercising, or commuting...what's not to love!

Wonderful support, understood my question and answered it quickly and with clear language.

Love the talks so far!

A weekly scoop of mobile development goodness.
