Hi everyone! It’s er, been a little while 👀 (sorry!) but there’s a new episode of the Nextflow Podcast out!

- Show notes + transcript + summary: [Writing Nextflow plugins in 2026 | The Nextflow Podcast by Seqera](http://seqera.io/podcasts/episode-58-nextflow-plugins/)
- YouTube: [https://youtu.be/kfoypvr5csM](https://youtu.be/kfoypvr5csM)
- Spotify: [Spotify](https://open.spotify.com/episode/2qV60W0oV8XZWZhNWM6Jhu?si=ELkpAAbmQTyyZF6WoXGeNA)

This one is all about Nextflow PLUGINS! @Jon_Manning , @FriederikeHanssen and @bentsherman take me on a journey of discovery through the weird and wonderful world of extending core Nextflow functionality.

TLDR; it’s not as scary as you might think! The past year has brought a lot of new toys and simplification of the process, and a new training course means you have no excuses not to get stuck in building now! 🙌
