I like Future of Coding. The show combines interviews with paper reads. One of my favorite interviews was with Miller Puckette who created Pure Data and the original version of the Max/MSP software.

I also enjoy the Tech Won't Save Us Podcast. This podcast takes a much needed critical take of tech and SV culture. I feel like this is what tech journalism should be as opposed to the usual cheer leading we usually see.

About 9 months back I relocated to India and started listening to Scaler Pod (https://www.youtube.com/@SCALER). It's focused on startups in India, and interviews their CTO or SVPs.

Two personal favorites: Dukaan CTO Subhash Choudhary[1] and Rippling Co-Founder Prasanna Sankar[2]

Without doubt Darknet Diaries, it should be a mandatory listen for anyone touching computers. It is a crash course on building secure systems by learning from the failures of others. I highly recommend starting from episode #1 because they are almost all great and episodes often reference past topics. https://darknetdiaries.com

I listened to quite a bit of Darknet Diaries back in 2018 but he had a few episodes that were such complete misses for me that I hopped off the train. The episode about trying to get to the top of Apple's podcast charts wore my patience, but a few episodes later the content was padded out with getting up to date on some Youtuber drama or something? I figured it was just hard to keep finding content for this niche. Should I give it another chance? There's 100+ more episodes now than the lats time I looked.

+1 for Darknet Diaries

2.5 Admins

Self Hosted

Late Night Linux / Linux After Dark

Ham Radio Workbench

Rustacean Station (esp the "new release" episodes)

RealPython has some fair content for beginner / intermediate level

Hackaday covers some pretty interesting projects I wouldn't have found otherwise

I highly recommend CoRecursive - The Stories Behind The Code: https://corecursive.com/

Basically, the host (Adam Gordon Bell, himself a programmer) is interviewing other software developers about their career or the journey to a particular piece of software.

I found these two episodes particularly interesting: * Software Word Tour: https://corecursive.com/software-world-tour-with-son-luong-n... * The Untold Story of SQLite: https://corecursive.com/066-sqlite-with-richard-hipp/

I haven't really used the Apple podcasts website before but apparently I can find it there.
