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 c…

Thank you for listening -- and for the kind words! (And on ads: hey, at least we don't carry even more ads on top of the podcast!) For whatever it's worth, we did an episode on (other!) podcasts that had some good recommendations in it -- plenty of which are technical.[0]

Yeah I've got enormous sweetspot for oxide. They sometimes take you back to the 90s at sun. While I was to young to do actual coding in the 90s, somehow it triggers instant nostalgia.

Also oxide is doing god's work for servers. I've had the misfortune to automate thousands of servers through their BMCs, and boy did I curse a lot.

It’s more CS education and learning focused, but my friend Oz and I have been doing the CS Primer Show for the last year. Had a brief hiatus for more family time, but we’ll be back in August with more chats and whatnot about Bell Labs and other computer science fun. https://show.csprimer.com Also YouTube version: https://youtube.com/@cs_primer

Hey, thanks for sharing this, I'm really enjoying it.

Especially the one about packet loss, it was really interesting to hear the way a software engineer explains network protocols.

I hope you continue.
