We've been holding a Twitter Space weekly on Mondays at 5p for about an hour. Even though it's not (yet?) a feature of Twitter Spaces, we have been recording them all; here is the recording for our Twitter Space for June 20th, 2022.
In addition to Bryan Cantrill and Adam Leventhal, speakers on June 20th included Dan Cross, Joshua M. Clulow, Patrick Mooney, Rick Altherr, Matt Campbell, Nathaniel Reindl, Anno 0770, and Timon Sku. (Did we miss your name and/or get it wrong? Drop a PR!)
