Next up: A hearty welcome for James Zetlen the new Frontend Architect at Magento; a question: “How frequently do you composer update, Phillip?”; installing Magento 2;  some very interesting PPs (Phil Plugs); website usability, accessibility and compliance; and virtual reality arcades.

The show was wrapped up with a chat about recent twitter polls by Kalen:
