Oracle Interviews

There are two big sections below that list hundreds of developer interviews I’ve done at Oracle from 2017 to present. Some files are audio only, while others are videos and live streams. For archival purposes, I’ve uploaded all files locally, and the links all point to individual posts here on this Substack.

Jim Grisanzio moderating a Duke’s Corner Podcast panel during the Community Keynote at JavaOne in Redwood Shores, California, March 2025.

DUKE’S CORNER JAVA PODCAST

This first section lists interviews I’ve done since I joined the Oracle Java Developer Relations team in 2022. At that time, I re-branded my old Oracle Groundbreakers Podcast that I owned while I worked in Developer Marketing, moved it over to Java, and updated the name to Duke’s Corner. Further down this page you’ll find the older pre-Java interview archive I did from 2017-2021. Each link below points to a post on this Substack with the audio and/or video file.
