Paul Hudson and Mikaela Caron
About this episode

Paul and Mikaela come to you live (-ish) from try! Swift Tokyo, where the air is filled with both cherry blossom and excitement about WWDC 2025!

We’ve got advice for attending in-person events (and why we think you should), our first reactions to Swift 6.1 and Swiftly 1.0, plus, the long-running saga of whether Mikaela’s app Fruitful — which would be perfect for something like WWDC, Mikaela, just sayin’ — is finally done. Is it? You’ll have to listen to find out!
