About Life In Uptime

Hosted by content creators Alexis Bertholf and Kevin Nanns, Life In Uptime is a podcast that explores the real journeys of the people who build and run the backbone of the internet—network engineers, IT leaders, and technologists across the industry. But this isn't just another technology podcast. It’s about the people behind it. Each episode dives into the personal and professional paths that got them where they are today—because the road to a career in technology isn’t one-size-fits-all. Whether someone started in retail, dropped out of college, or studied computer science, every journey has value. And understanding that journey is just as important as understanding the tech they work on. This show is for anyone wondering how to break into tech, where it can take you, and what’s possible when you expand your mindset. Because no matter where you're starting from, there’s a way in—and we’re here to show you how.

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍

Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
