EnglishWhat Is the Kubernetes Podcast from Google?
Updated
The Kubernetes Podcast from Google is a weekly news and interview show covering the Kubernetes community, published at kubernetespodcast.com. Each episode features conversations with contributors, maintainers, and practitioners about project releases, ecosystem tools, and community topics. It is useful if you want to follow Kubernetes development and hear directly from the people building and operating it, rather than read release notes alone.
What the site offers
The site is a straightforward podcast home with three main sections: Episodes, About, and Subscribe. The episode list shows recent shows with a title, date, guest names, and a short description, plus a "Read More" link and a share option for each entry.
| Element | What you get |
|---|---|
| Episodes | Dated episode entries with guest names and summaries |
| About | Background on the show |
| Subscribe | A page for following the podcast |
| Per-episode links | "Read More" details and sharing |
The site footer identifies the operator as Google, LLC, with a 2025–2026 copyright notice, which matches the show's name and its focus on Google Cloud and Kubernetes engineering guests.
Typical episode topics
The recent episode list shows the range you can expect. Episodes pair a release or project topic with a named guest who works on it:
- Release walkthroughs — Episode #271 covers Kubernetes 1.37 with Dipesh Rawat, the release lead for that version.
- Project deep dives — Episode #270 discusses the rewrite of Project Kepler and the challenges of measuring sustainability, with maintainer Niki Manoledaki.
- Policy and community process — Episode #269 covers the Kubernetes AI usage policy with Kat Cosgrove and Natali Vlatko, including why AI tools cannot sign the Contributor License Agreement or co-author PRs, and how maintainers handle low-quality AI-generated contributions.
- Platform engineering in practice — Episode #268 talks with Jonathan Grahl, infrastructure team lead at Lovable, about running sandboxes on Kubernetes.
- New projects — Episode #272 features Tim Hockin and Brandon Royal discussing Agent Substrate.
Episodes are numbered and dated, so you can scan the list to find a release or project you care about instead of listening in order.
How to listen and follow
- Open kubernetespodcast.com and browse the Episodes list.
- Pick an episode by its topic or guest, then use "Read More" to see the full description before committing.
- To follow new episodes, go to the Subscribe page linked in the site navigation.
The site does not state which podcast platforms or feed formats the Subscribe page supports, so check that page directly for the available options. Pricing is not described on the site; the only related signal is the "Subscribe" link, so treat availability and any account requirements as something to confirm on that page rather than assume.
When it is worth your time
Use the show when you want context behind a Kubernetes release or project decision — for example, hearing a release lead explain what changed in 1.37, or maintainers explain the reasoning behind a community policy. If you only need the changelog, the official release notes will be faster. If you want the "why" and the people behind it, an episode like #271 or #269 is a better fit.
