Liking this so far. Can anyone recommend other good Computer Science podcasts as well?

My two favorites:

http://nodeup.com/ - My personal favorite, great if you are into Node or interested in learning. Lots of interesting podcast topics (promises, performance, scaling websockets, leveldb are some recent ones).

http://thechangelog.com/ - Member support podcast that covers a broad range of popular open source projects and their main contributors.

On a side note, realtalk.io looks interesting as well, I'll have to check that one out too (in addition to thinkdistributed) for my long commutes :)

Oh dear, can't listen to that on headphones. Built-in microphones and VoIP quality make my ears hurt. Listening to sophisticated podcasters definitely spoils you.

I'm sorry; as interest has picked up we'll try to improve quality as we go along. First episode was an experiment.

FWIW, I think I read that the gold standard is for each participant to record their audio, and then mix the different tracks together.

Great idea. This could be part of a larger trend. MOOCS are covering topics in undergraduate education, but there isn't an equivalent for graduate education. Podcasts/Webcasts discussing relevant papers could be a way to solve this.

This is exactly the goal. We will be covering CRDTs and things like linearizability in coming episodes.

Another (js-specific) one is [0]JavaScript Jabber. Full disclosure: I am one of the co-hosts of the show, but we usually have much smarter people come on and talk.
