About this listen

Epik Mellon is a podcast about networks; the real people and crazy stories behind the amazing fact that the Internet even works. Networking folk are mavericks, adventurers, and nerds all rolled into one. Sponsored by QA Cafe, we discuss how people like us got into the field, the real issues and funny circumstances we've been in, and some real conversations about the state of the industry, technology, and the future of communications. If you ever wanted to know "how the sausage is made" behind network communications, you'll find it at Epik Mellon.


Epik Mellon is a portmanteau of "Mellon Epikoinonión" - a rough Greek translation of "the Future of Communications." It might also involve fruit sometimes. No promises.© 2025 Epik Mellon - the QA Cafe Podcast

    “The Wireshark Story” with Gerald Combs of Sysdig, Creator and Lead Developer of Wireshark
    Jun 3 2025

    In this episode, I get to sit down with one of my heroes, Gerald Combs, who created and has maintained Wireshark for decades - one of the most critical projects to everything we do today in a connected world. We talk about a passion for problem solving, the magic of open-source, the old days of pre-standardized networking, and how so much of what society relies on is held together by a few very dedicated people.

    “Getting Out of Their Own Way” with Alexandre Martins Co-Founder & Solution Architect at Automa Networks
    May 20 2025

    In this episode, I talk with long time friend and colleague Alexandre Martins of Automa Networks in São Paulo, Brazil, about the broadband knowledge gap, the complexity of this little box we call “Wi-Fi Router” and what operators can do to get out of their own way as bandwidth alone isn’t a place to grow.
