Show overview
Inside Java has been publishing since 2020, and across the 6 years since has built a catalogue of 69 episodes. That works out to roughly 30 hours of audio in total. Releases follow a monthly cadence, with the show now in its 3rd season.
Episodes typically run twenty to thirty-five minutes — most land between 16 min and 35 min — though episode length varies meaningfully from one episode to the next. None of the episodes are flagged explicit by the publisher. It is catalogued as a EN-language Technology show.
The show is actively publishing — the most recent episode landed 6 days ago, with 26 episodes already out so far this year. The busiest year was 2026, with 26 episodes published. Published by David Delabassee.
From the publisher
Inside Java is a podcast for Java Developers brought to you directly from the people that make Java at Oracle. We'll discuss the language, the JVM, OpenJDK, platform security, innovation projects like Loom and Panama, and everything in between.

S3 Ep 8"Analyzing Crashed JVMs" [IJN]
The Java tool jcmd ("j command") sends diagnostic commands to the JVM, which will react by supplying the desired information: from finalizer queues to heap and thread dumps, from GC insights to virtual thread scheduler statistics. At the moment, this requires a running JVM, but once candidate JEP 528 is adopted, a lot of that information can be seamlessly extracted from a crashed JVM's core dump, allowing easy post-mortem analysis.
S3 Ep 8"Java Carrier Classes & Discussing Syntax" [AtA]
Carrier classes are Project Amber's current idea to extend some of records' benefits to regular classes. Probably the most important among them is deconstruction, which would allow classes to participate in pattern matching and reconstruction. In recent weeks, there have been two mails to the Amber mailing list that describe that idea, and in this episode we discuss them both as well as the evolution between them. We also hear why syntax discussions often provide negative value and get a sneak peak at what will likely be the next Project Amber language feature. Just ahead of the JavaOne speakers dinner, Nicolai Parlog sits down with Brian Goetz, Java Language Architect in Oracle's Java Platform Group, for this "Ask the Architect" episode of the Inside Java Podcast.
S3 Ep 7"Unboxing Java 26 for Developers" [IJN]
Java 26 is getting all packaged up to be shipped worldwide! As with every release of the JDK there are a number of new features, improvements, changes in behavior, and more developers should be aware of before upgrading. In this episode of the Inside Java Newscast we will review all the noteworthy changes coming in Java 26 that will impact developers.
S3 Ep 6"Towards Better Checked Exceptions" [IJN]
Java's checked exceptions are both an integral part of the language and one of its most contested features. Whether their introduction was a mistake and whether they should all be turned unchecked are frequently discussed topics but since the former is not overly relevant and the latter unlikely, this conversation isn't moving Java forward. Instead, let's talk about specific issues with checked exceptions and what could be done about them - from (entirely speculative) language changes to (marginally realistic) JDK/library evolution to stylistic changes.
