The Java Posse is a podcast of news, discussion, and interviews about the Java programming language and associated Java technologies. The four regular contributors are Tor Norbye (Google), Carl Quinn (Netflix), Dick Wall (Locus Development/Escalate) and Joe Nuxoll (Tesla Motors).[1] By January 2007, the estimated listenership was between 7- and 10,000 people, and by late 2010 it was over 17,000 people.[2]
The podcast was begun in September 2005 and was a successor to an earlier short-lived Java podcast produced by Wall called "JavaCast", cohosted with Brandon Werner.[1] As of November 2010, over 330 episodes of The Java Posse have been recorded. The group has also organized the "Java Posse Roundup", an unconference held in Crested Butte, Colorado in 2007-2010 and organized by Bruce Eckel. Sessions from the roundup have been published as episodes of the podcast.
Quinn and Wall also co-hosted the Google developer podcast for a period of time.
