This is the second pilot for the new API Evangelist Conversations podcast. This is an off the record edition where I interview my alter ego Tim Lane, but obfuscate my voice and hide my face. Like the first one, it isn't that smooth as it is awkward to interview yourself, but I am also just getting started with all the production around this series.

This is the introductory pilot for the new API Evangelist Conversation podcast, where I interview myself (Kin Lane) to explore the new format, and work out all the kinks with producing and distributing this podcast. It is a little robotic and awkward as I interview myself, but something that will get more natural once I am talking to other human beings.

A very focused conversation on change management and versioning with Stanislav Zmiev, Tech Lead of Platform Engineering at invoicing  and bill pay provider Monite. Stanislav had an extremely nuanced and pragmatic view of API versioning, which I think sets the stage for a very healthy discussion for any company looking to version their mission critical APIs.

I brought back my old friend and storytelling mentor Adam DuVander to reminisce about the old days of ProgrammableWeb, exploring the reasons behind its demise, but also what the current realities are for API producers in world where people really don't care about APIs, and more about the business solutions that they deliver.

Daniel Kocot joined me to share some wisdom from the trenches of API consulting about OpenAPI and TypeSpec, helping me better understand the motivations behind, how these specs can work in concert, and how different stops along the API lifecycle motivate our investment in different API specs.

I am the API Evangelist.  Not in the sense that I’m evangelizing a single API to you--In the sense that APIs are important for everyone to be aware of.  I’m paying attention to not just the technical, but the business and politics of the web API movement.  I share my insights by blogging on the business of APIs at apievangelist.com, politics of APIs at apivoice.com and you can find more information about me at kinlane.com.
