Why We Love the Magento MageTalk Podcast
We love a few things here at ShipHawk: technology, shipping, surfing, and MageTalk. Here’s why we love listening to the MageTalk podcast and encourage any Magento aficionados to start tuning in immediately.
Awesome and Knowledgeable Hosts
Hosts Phillip Jackson and Kalen Jordan are not only massive Magento fans but also Magento experts. Phillip Jackson is one of the most certified developers in the community with 4 Magento Developer Certifications. He also holds the #2 spot in the world at the Q A site Magento StackExchange. Kalen Jordan is the founder of MageMail and is a contributor of open source modules on GitHub. Long story short, they know what they’re talking about and you’ll definitely learn something new.
Industry Updates and Insights

Entertaining Banter
Not only is the show informative, it’s also entertaining. Let’s be honest, Magento isn’t always good times and glamour, but Phillip and Kalen definitely know how to make the Magento ecosphere interesting.
“Whenever we start the podcast, you should just pop a cold-one, Kalen. This is some quality radio.”
Their Listeners Love it Too
Not only do we love listening to MageTalk but other listeners agree—their show is both informative and entertaining, and every Magento user should tune in. Here’s a few of our favorite five star reviews, which were tough to choose from since MageTalk only has five star reviews.

An Informative and Entertaining Must-Listen
I’m just learning Magento for front-end dev work, and I can’t miss an episode. It’s crucial to get in on the culture of a technology if you really want to immerse yourself and excel, and Phillip and Kalen really allow me that. I highly recommend this podcast for anyone involved or looking to get involved in Magento, who also happens to have a sense of humor.
The people have spoken and MageTalk is the podcast that everyone involved in the Magento macrocosm should be listening to. This is why ShipHawk has decided to become a sponsor of this informative and one-of-a-kind podcast.
