MoT Podcast - Adam Meets Elizabeth Zagroba, Huib Schoots & Jitesh Gosai

We kick-off a bumper month of episodes with a visit to the island by Elizabeth Zagroba, to talk about the ideas behind her upcoming presentation at TestBash Germany, entitled "Doubt Builds Trust". Among the discussions, there are debates about the challenges of saying "I don't know", stories about exploring doubt within interview situations, and thoughts about the relationship between doubt and curiosity. Plus, Neil finally finds a way for his frequent screw-ups to reinforce a salient point! Elizabeth shares stories of how music and technology have been interwoven throughout her life, and her song choices are spread across classical, musicals and jazz, with a small helping of funk thrown in for good measure. You can catch up with Elizabeth on Twitter @ezagroba. Elizabeth's Links:  TestBash Germany 2018 WNYC - New York Public Radio Wikipedia: Ys (mythical French sunken city) The Reddit thread Neil referred to (sadly now with deleted posts) Wikipedia: Mellophone Elizabeth's website Elizabeth's profile on Goodreads    Regular Links:  Listen to and subscribe to this podcast on iTunes and SoundCloud Sign up to be a guest on the show Testers' Island Discs playlist on Spotify Testers' Island Discs reading list on Goodreads Follow us on Twitter
