Episode 32: Leak Canary

In this episode, we chat with Pierre-Yves Ricau (aka @Piwai, for his initials P and Y and for the benefit of non-French-speakers that find "Pierre-Yves" entirely too complicated to pronounce) from Square about his excellent Leak Canary tool, as well as other topics he's interested in -- presenting, dependency injection, and crash reporting.
