What good technology podcasts are out there

Question

Yes  Podcasts  those nice little Audiobooks I can listen to on the way to work  With the current amount of Podcasts  it s like searching a needle in a haystack  except that the haystack happens to be the Internet and is filled with too many of these  quot Hot new Gadgets quot  stuff    Now  even though I am mainly a  NET developer nowadays  maybe anyone knows some good Podcasts from people regarding the whole software lifecycle  Unit Testing  Continous Integration  Documentation  Deployment    So - what are you guys and gals listening to   Please note that the categorizations are somewhat subjective and may not be 100  accurate as many podcasts cover several areas  Categorization is made against what is considered the  quot main quot  area  General Software Engineering   Productivity   Stack Overflow   1 inactive  but still a good listen  TekPub  Requires Paid Subscription  Software Engineering Radio 43 Folders Perspectives Dr  Dobb s  now a video feed  The Pragmatic Podcast  Inactive  IT Matters Agile Toolkit Podcast The Stack Trace  Inactive  Parleys Techzing The Startup Success Podcast Berkeley CS class lectures FLOSS Weekly This Developer s Life   NET   Visual Studio   Microsoft  Herding Code Hanselminutes  NET Rocks  Deep Fried Bytes Alt Net Podcast  inactive  Polymorphic Podcast  inconsistent  Sparkling Client  The Silverlight Podcast  dnrTV  Spaghetti Code ASP NET Podcast Channel 9 Radio TFS PowerScripting Podcast The Thirsty Developer Elegant Code  inactive  ConnectedShow Crafty Coders Coding QA  jQuery  yayQuery The official jQuery podcast  Java   Groovy  The Java Posse Grails Podcast Java Technology Insider Basement Coders  Ruby   Rails  Railscasts Rails Envy The Ruby on Rails Podcast Rubiverse Ruby5  Web Design   JavaScript   Ajax  WebDevRadio Boagworld The Rissington podcast Ajaxian YUI Theater  Unix   Linux   Mac   iPhone  Mac Developer Network Hacker Public Radio Linux Outlaws Mac OS Ken LugRadio Linux radio show  Inactive  The Linux Action Show  Linux Kernel Mailing List  LKML  Summary Podcast Stanford s iPhone programming class Advanced iPhone Development Course - Madison Area Technical College WWDC 2010 Session Videos  requires Apple Developer registration   System Administration  Security or Infrastructure  RunAs Radio Security Now  Crypto-Gram Security Podcast Hak5 VMWare VMTN Windows Weekly PaulDotCom Security The Register - Semi-Coherent Computing FeatherCast  General Tech   Business  Tekzilla This Week in Tech The Guardian Tech Weekly PCMag Radio Podcast  Inactive  Entrepreneurship Corner Manager Tools  Other   Misc    Podcast Networks  IT Conversations Retrobits Podcast No Agenda Netcast Cranky Geeks The Command Line Freelance Radio IBM developerWorks The Register - Open Season Drunk and Retired Technometria Sod This Radio4Nerds Hacker Medley

I find the PC Pro Podcast a good weekly round up  which complements the monthly paper magazine in the UK  for PCs  Windows software and gadgets   This Week in Testing can also be informative and fun  as a round up of blogs and opinions from the world of automated tests   Some of the US based shows like the TWiT network are too advert heavy for my taste   I also recently found the Ted Talks  in video  or audio only  on iTunes  quite a few of which are technical or speculative with a very high quality of speaker   Edit  Added The Guardian s Tech Weekly

User · Answer

My top 3   This Week in Tech  Leo Laporte  et  al   Security Now  Leo Laporte   Steve Gibson   Windows Weekly  Leo Laporte   Paul Thurrott

User · Answer

Here is my list   The Java Posse - a must for Java programmers FLOSS Weekly - On open source projects  usually very geekish  but Leo Laporte is very funny Stack Overflow - I believe most of the readers know what I m talking about    Software Engineering Radio - Very interesting interviews on various aspects FeatherCast - Seldom updated  interviews on Apache projects Parleys com - Lectures served as podcast  highly biased to the Spring project  Not strictly technical  but highly recommended  Entrepreneurial Thought Leaders - Lectures who built companies or other endeavours  Very interesting

User · Answer

My favorite is Manager Tools  Technically it is a business podcast  but very valuable for programmers or other individual contributors working in corporate environments  Been listening for 3 years  new to StackOverflow  -- Mike

User · Answer

Haven t seen the Security Catalyst for security  I used to prefer this over the one leo laporte does when I acutally had time to listen to such things    Boagworld was an ok one for basic web design dev stuff

User · Answer

The way I understand the question  you are asking for developer centric podcast  My personal number one is Late Night Cocoa from the Mac Developer Network followed by Mac Developer Roundtable  Although I agree that every developer should probably listen to Steve Gibson s Security Now   with Leo Laporte s TWiT network    For general tech stuff  check out other TWiT podcasts  This week in Tech  MacBreak Weekly  MacBreack Tech  with PixelCorps   Windows Weekly and FLOSS Weekly  On a side note  relevant to some developers who think about becoming a Micro-ISV in the Apple Universe  MacSB - Mac Software Business

Am I going to be downmodded for suggesting that the Stack Overflow podcast is hilariously bad as a podcast   Anywho  you can find it  and a number of not-bad podcasts at itconversations com   As this question asked for a  good  rather than  exhaustive  list  then this is obviously just my opinion   My opinion bounces between  NET and Java and just geek   And obvious omissions would reflect my opinion on  good    Ahem  DNR    The rest of these are easily found by doing a podcast search in iTunes  or just googling  I ll do some repeating here to condense the list     Buzz Out Loud  General Consumer Tech  Daily   This Week in Tech  aka TWiT   Weekly Consumer Tech   The Java Posse  Weekly   Google Developer Podcast  which went long fallow  but seems to be coming back  possible renamed as the Google Code Review  Schedule uncertain  technologies vary   Hanselminutes  Usually  but not always   NET-related  MacBreak Weekly  The Mac version of TWiT  Polymorphic Podcast  All  NET  usually ASP NET   Pixel8ed  All  NET  focused on UI   Same guy who does Polymorphic Podcast  tech5  Consumer Tech   Mostly a fun waste of 5 minutes because Dvorak is so    Spolsky

This isn t necessarily something you can pop on your iPod and just chill to  but Diggnation is a hillarious video podcast with Kevin Rose and Alex Albrecht    They talk about  some of the top stories on the user-submitted news site digg com   This doesn t really have much in the way of software development  though sometimes a story pops up with that   but is great for entertainment value

I can second Jon Galloway s mention of Herding Code  and since I have absolutely nothing to do with the podcast  with nothing to gain  my opinion may be more valuable than his  -    There are only a few there as it s relatively new  but they are jam packed with good stuff that is very relevant to today s programming paradigms and strategies   I also love the smooth format they ve got going since 4 guys all giving input on a topic can make for a very jerky conversation with all  most   of them dialed in  but whether it s the post editing or just a good format  either way it comes across as a very comfortable listening experience to the end user  Keep it up guys   Hope that helps  Rob G

This one s not specifically about development  but Security Now from Steve Gibson and Leo Laporte is an excellent discussion of security issues   I think it s a must-listen for just about any computer user who s concerned about security  and especially for web developers who are responsible both for the security of their site and at least partially responsible for their users  security

The Stack Overflow podcast is the reason I m now here  Jeff  unfortunately  is a poor project manager in terms of managing expectations and setting timelines -- yet the beta has arrived  and it s pretty decent  The  NET world is alien to me  so I ve enjoyed the Stack Overflow podcast   This Week in Tech is another podcast I listen to regularly  Unfortunately  I feel that none of the panelists other than Leo Laporte does any homework prior to the show  so many of the opinions  especially John C  Dvorak s  are uninformed   I recently started listening to IT Conversations podcasts  and I got enough good information that I donated  The selection is mixed  but I really like talks from various conferences that I was unable to attend   Thanks to other people who responded with links to other podcasts I haven t heard of  I m a newbie  so I can t bump up scores yet

Over this summer I ve enjoyed    StackOverflow SERadio - sometimes this feels too enterprise-y for me  but it s definitely the most technical  and the European  German   hosts are a hoot  Hanselminutes and DNR - some aspects of these shows get annoying  but they frequently have interesting guests talking about interesting things  which is where the money is    I echo the sentiment about the difference between tech gossip  TWiT  Diggnation  etc  and software development podcasts  while the former can sometimes be entertaining  I ve found they tend towards the audio equivalent of Digg rather than Hacker News  programming reddit  or  hopefully  StackOverflow   I ll be checking out the other suggestions people gave
