The Engineered Network

The Engineered Network is an independent Australian podcast network created by engineer John Chidgey. Its shows look at the world the way engineers do: how things are built, why they fail, and what the technology around us actually does. The flagship program, Pragmatic, has spent years exploring engineering and technology in long, careful conversations, and the network has grown a family of shows around it.

There is no music and no clock format - the live stream carries the master feed of the network, while every episode stays available on demand as a podcast. The project is listener-supported, which keeps it independent of sponsors and free to go as deep into a topic as it needs. For anyone who likes to know how the world is engineered, this is the stream to leave on. The network also gives back to podcasting itself, backing open projects like OP3, the open-source show statistics initiative.
