I also want to give a shoutout to the CSS podcast by Adam Argyle and Una Kravets. It isn't easy to listen to, because it's trying to describe verbally what's essentially visual; but it is full of useful information.
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. Sh…
I wonder if there is a gap in the audio market for low-level podcasts aimed at building technical "muscle memory". Example: repeated syntax step-throughs in a rote/kata style, like foreign language courses. I've never seen anything like that and have often wondered if it could work without the visual accompaniment.
I've actually found it quite an active/engaging experience to take in some normal code-presenting videos/screencasts as audio-only (i.e. earphones in, phone in pocket), because you build up in your minds eye the code they're talking about.
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…

I don't see how this would be that useful. If you are learning a foreign language, you already know what you want to say, but not how to say it in the new language. Syntax doesn't really matter after programming for more than a year, as the important part is how to solve a problem, and not how to write down that solution.
I’ve been disappointed with podcasts over the past couple of years. I tend to listen to YouTube videos now.
That's interesting, i keep getting annoyed by the wild inaccuracies and downright silly mistakes whenever I find a YouTube creator that produces videos on a topic I've got decent working experience in. I.e. rxjs code like this behaviorSubject.pipe(mergeMap() => of(behaviorSubject.getValue()) With podcasts, you usually get people that actually do the things they're taking about for a living as they're often not primar…
As with everything, we should be picky. For rx, Ben Lesh - always yes, obviously. Michael Hladky - yes. Deborah Kurata - maybe yes? Random youtuber - no.
Also, a few others that I did not see here:
- Programming Throwdown: https://www.programmingthrowdown.com/
- This Developer's Life: https://thisdeveloperslife.com/
- Adventures of Alice & Bob: https://www.beyondtrust.com/podcast

Software Unscripted https://twitter.com/sw_unscripted is good. I don't know whether it's well known or not. Possibly a hidden gem. Already mentioned, but Signals & Threads https://signalsandthreads.com is a very notable one. Probably the best episode hit-rate of any development-related podcast I've listened to. Core Intuition https://coreint.org Apple-platform focused. Hosts have endearing personalities. The Changelo…
I could not figure out how to subscribe to software unscripted with a regular podcast application. I don't see an RSS feed anywhere.
