Weekly Watercooler Discussions about WordPress and it’s community.

WPwatercooler is streamed live to various social media channels and is made available after the show in the form of an audio podcast. Videos can be played any time on YouTube, Facebook, Twitter and Twitch.
Live Fridays at 11:00 am Pacific
