Uhhhh, what? The only remotely political topic they touch on is women in technology. Casey Liss went to bloody Virginia Tech, hardly Reed College level progressivism.

Shop Talk Show http://shoptalkshow.com/

Codepen Radio http://blog.codepen.io/radio/

Software Engineering Radio is in my podcast software but I don't find myself listening to it much.

I have a variety of others more oriented to productivity and freelancing, but they're less technical. I do highly recommend the Home Work podcast by Aaron Mahnke and Dave Caolo - one of the few I have set to auto download.

The K5 diaries are still going back and forth, that's interesting.

Huh. There's a blast from the past.

I get occasional reminder spam of my email address used for k5 having been harvested at some point, but looking at those diaries doesn't fill me with a desire to return there.

Maybe to HuSi at some point.

Highly recommend the a16z podcast:

https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/a16z/id842818711

Episodes are usually small bites (~20-30 mins) of discussion/interviews on one of the upcoming technologies/trends by a couple of Andreessen Horowitz partners and an invited guest. Content is usually pretty insightful and they are really good at doing a thorough analysis of the current status of the tech industry.

I really enjoy Reply All, it's not technical, but is more about Internet culture.

Here are a variety of weekly newsletters I haven't seen mentioned.

Devopsweekly http://www.devopsweekly.com/ is a good summary of major goings on.

Javascriptweekly http://javascriptweekly.com/ is the same.

Maybe gp is including blog posts as well? Marco Arment ventures into other political topics to some degree. I don't think I've ever heard John Siracusa or Casey Liss hit on anything significantly political other than women in tech.
