While running or driving I enjoy listening to podcasts as they are a great way to passively learn and keep up with various technologies and trends, as well as be entertained. This post is a list of the podcasts I enjoy (or have enjoyed) listening to.
Programming
DevChat podcasts
Ruby Rogues: Ruby and programming focused panel podcast, I find the earlier episodes with the original crew were the the best and worth going back for a listen.
Javascript Jabber: Javascript and programming podcast.
@thoughtbot podcasts
Giant Robots smashing into other Giant Robots: Earlier episodes were focused on ruby programming, now it is more focused on product development @thoughtbot.
The Bike Shed: Programming @thoughtbot podcast about technologies that they are interested in or using.
Open source podcasts
The Changelog: About Open Source Software with a great segment on background and how to make open source sustainable
DevOps
After taking my first DevOps role, I wanted to find the best podcasts in the domain to catch up on community and technology. Here are a few that I have found and recently enjoyed listening to:
To Be Continuous: Podcast with the founder of CircleCI discussing development, teams, technology, product and all other aspects of running a company.
General Technology
Misc
This American life: Moving, funny, insightful look at people, places ideas in America.
99% invisible: A look at the design of everything
Dan Carlin’s Hardcore History: history recounted from a “fan” of history and not a historian. The Mongol invasion, WW1 and longer themes like Germanic people are explored in an always enlightening and entertaining way.
Welcome to Nightvale: A surreal, theatre of the absurd, creepy and ingenious story of a radio host in a desert town called Nightvale.
Hello Internet: A chat show between two of my favourite educational YouTuber’s CGP Grey and Brady Harlan.
