Hey everyone!

Episode 30 of The .NET Core Podcast was released a few days ago. But, as usual, I wanted to create some show notes for it which are specific to dev.to

As a quick reminder, The .NET Core Podcast is the _only_ podcast devoted to:

- .NET Core
- ASP.NET Core
- EF Core
- SignalR

and not forgetting The .NET Core community, itself.

I wont make you browse over to the show notes page

_because I'm not the boss of you_

because I'll add a dev.to specific player here:

I was incredibly honoured to get the chance to interview [Pablo Santos](https://twitter.com/psluaces) and [Phil Haack](https://twitter.com/haacked) in this episode about where .NET has come from, it's evolution, and where we think it might be heading.

The full show notes and a transcription are available at the show's website

_here's a [link](https://dotnetcore.show/episode-30-reflections-on-net-with-pablo-santos-and-phil-haack/) directly to the show notes_

I'd love any and all feedback that you can provide on the show, this episode, or anything related to it.
