Listen Up! Google Cloud Reader reaches 50 episodes

If you’re anything like me, you love reading, but also appreciate that sometimes your eyes need to be doing other things; whether it’s finding your exit off the highway, or keeping your puppy from destroying the couch.

And sometimes the thought of sitting down to read something just feels like it’s going to take valuable multi-tasking time away from my day. I know, I know, multitasking can be frowned upon, but it’s the way I live a good chunk of my life, and it’s working out so far. And while I’m not alone in my multitasking, I’m also not alone in my desire for a non-visual way to get this content, or any content.

*Google Cloud Reader enters the chat*

Google Cloud Reader is a podcast that lets you listen to the Google Cloud Blog posts that aren’t as dependent on visuals. This means they’re articles that are, or are adapted to be, less focused on graphs, or code samples, and instead describe the meaning behind those visual aids.

It’s an easy, audible way to absorb content around all things new in Cloud, while still being able to make sure Ruthie doesn’t eat my work from home equipment.

So by now you’re probably thinking “OK, so you started a podcast during the pandemic, even though you definitely seemed like the type to start making sourdough” — and you’re right. My 53 plants agree with you. But rest assured, one can listen to an episode of this podcast *while* creating a macramé plant hanger, or waiting for bread to rise — Multitasking, am I right?

We’re a little over 50 episodes/macramé plant hangers in, so you should check it out (Ruth and I would appreciate it).
