As is mentioned in this new post to the Laravel News site, the Laravel Podcast has a new format and host:

Matt Stauffer has taken the reins and is the host and Shawn has switched to a new podcast outside of just Laravel. The podcast is also moving to a shorter format, 20 minutes and is scheduled for every other week. With the shorter format, it forces the discussion to move quicker and is much easier to consume. For me at least.

The first episode with Matt at the helm talks about the recently released Envyoer deployment tool and the latest version of Laravel (v5). You can listen to this latest episode either through the in-page audio player or by downloading the mp3.
