The Laravel News site has been a good source for Laravel-related happenings and updates for that portion of the community. They've announced an expansion to their offerings today with the addition of a new podcast with updates about the Laravel community and ecosystem over the past few weeks.

I’m happy to announce a new Laravel News Podcast and the first two episodes are now live. My co-host on this podcast is Jack Fruh and the goal is to discuss some of the highlights of the news over the past few weeks. The current goal is to create an episode every other week.

They've posted the first two episodes already featuring Eric and Jack talking about things like:

• Laravel Spark
• The Diffie-Hellman Fix
• Laravel Model Factories
• Laravel Accessors and Mutators

You can listen to these first two episodes either through the in-page audio player or you can subscribe in iTunes to get these and future shows as they're released.
