Podcast Episodes

An exploration of how epistemology underpins quality thinking, helping quality people examine what they know, how they know it, and how that shapes their quality choices.

A reflective “wins” episode that turns everyday progress into momentum, and reminds us to log the good stuff, not just the problems.

A lively chat about influence without authority, from asking better questions and telling clearer risk stories to navigating stakeholders, careers, and community visibility.

A hot-takes episode where the crew debates AI skepticism, manual testing’s staying power, whether AI agents really speed delivery, and why quality ultimately lives (or dies) with leadership decisions.

A chaotic-but-fun start with 'Diana 404' turns into a big community update: SQEC milestones, the MoTaCon lineup reveal, and why MoT Pro membership is the simplest way to be part of it all.

With SQEC now fully live, the community swaps stories about new roles, flaky tests, accessibility audits, and why shared language, pairing, and “being the duck” can make quality work easier.

Simon and Judy celebrate “joy scrolling” in the MoTaverse, swap stories on time-zone chaos and quality moments, and spotlight how community content, chapters, and AMAs turn learning into momentum.

Explore the new Ask MoTaverse Anything format, unpack “quality beyond correctness,” and pick up practical ideas for communicating impact, not just checking boxes.

Celebrate surprise-smooth demos, learn how solo testers spark better quality conversations, and explore “assumption investigating” as a core skill for making work clearer and kinder.

Understand why the MoTaverse membership model is changing, what stays free, what moves to Pro, and how the team is designing a safer, higher-quality platform that helps your profile shine.

Hear honest job-search and career-change stories, pick up confidence-boosting advice from the community, and enjoy the wonderfully weird side-threads that make the MoTaverse feel like home.
