How One CTO Solved Her Team's Knowledge Silos with Internal Podcasts

Episode 51 of Tech Leadership with Fexingo: Lucas and Luna explore a surprising tool for breaking down information silos in engineering teams: internal podcasts. They dive into the case of a CTO at a 300-person fintech who launched a weekly 15-minute internal show where senior engineers explain one architecture decision, outage, or new pattern. The result? Cross-team awareness improved, onboarding time dropped by 30 percent, and the number of repeated questions in Slack fell sharply. Lucas breaks down the production cost (two hours per week for one engineer), the format that worked (no slides, no script, just structured storytelling), and why the CTO believes audio beats written docs for tacit knowledge transfer. Luna pushes back on the 'yet another tool' concern and asks whether this scales beyond mid-size companies. They also discuss when an internal podcast makes sense versus a wiki or an RFC process. If you lead a team that struggles with information asymmetry, this episode is for you. #InternalPodcast #KnowledgeManagement #EngineeringLeadership #CTO #TechDebt #Onboarding #TacitKnowledge #Docs #Slack #Fintech #Scaling #Architecture #Postmortem #Storytelling #AsyncCommunication #Technology #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
