I'm looking for a/multiple co-host(s) for go podcast(). The show turned 4 years this month and I'd like some freshness for the next phase. There's a post in /r/golang if anyone's want to know more. Podcasting is hard, and I'll admit that I'm not the most consistent host, but I want to continue.

this is great addition, very useful in making test simpler for concurrent code.
I’m tremendously excited about the synctest package. There’s usually a tension between making async code idiomatic or testable. Synctest makes the idiomatic code testable.
