None. Most are filled with too many pointless comments, side commentary, tangents, and can't show detail over audio. I can't listen to them anywhere I want. I have to pause and rewind constantly to catch detail. I can't underline something significant or save it for later.

I’m slowly reaching the same conclusion only with a more cynical bent.

Most programming podcasts are just paid interviews it seems. It’s always the same guest on the same podcasts making the same comments.

Very few hosts ask relevant questions or try to have a dialogue. It always comes across as extremely disingenuous when you can tell they are just sucking up to the person they are interviewing.

The only podcast I consistently listen to is Oxide and Friends, it comes across is genuine even if it’s basically an advertisement for Oxide Computers. Probably more to do with who the hosts are as people.

The Array Cast https://www.arraycast.com/ . This is a podcast on array languages (which more or less means APL-like, for the purposes of the podcast). Even if you don't particularly care about these languages they discuss algorithms and things from an abstract enough perspective that is helpful and illuminating.

i became aware of this recently and your comment reminded me to listen. this is great! thanks!
