#83A couple of fun linux / open source podcasts. 1. Linux Action Show ( http://www.jupiterbroadcasting.com/tag/linux-action-show/ ) 2. Bad Voltage ( http://badvoltage.org/ )

#84I think at a certain point you start to recognize that more tech isn't helping as much as it was (diminishing returns perhaps) and that a more holistic approach to improving is necessary.

#85http://atp.fm , but I rarely finish one episode these days... I wish I could listen to fun smart folks talking about computers other than Apple. Also, I'd love to hear people that weren't so overtly progressive. Most stuff I find is too serious and I rather hear podcasts to entertain myself instead of trying to learn more stuff while driving.

#86EDIT: If anyone has any ideas, I'd love to hear them.

I listen to most of the podcasts from http://www.radiotopia.fm/
None of them are directly tech related, but most of them have insights that are applicable to projects from a human perspective (eg discovering things about how people react to stuff).

Here is the list:
* Beats, Rye & Types (http://beatsryetypes.com/) -- An entertaining podcast about music, food, and programming. I love listening to Michael Bernstein and Aaron Quint, especially when they're talking about Computology and Hip-Hop. A rather interesting mix. Also noteworthy: the only show in the list without a sponsor.
* Home Work (http://5by5.tv/homework) -- A weekly podcast for people who work from home. I'm currently able to telecommute once a week (which is great, by the way). But even if you're not in the position to work from home, this podcast offers many useful tips on productivity, work spaces, tools, and more.
* The Writer Files (http://rainmaker.fm/series/writer/) -- An in-depth look at the "habits, habitats, and brains of a wide spectrum of renowned writers to learn their secrets of productivity and creativity". I care a lot about writing. It's no surprise that I'm interested in the work habits of people who write for a living.
* The Binpress Podcast (http://www.binpress.com/blog/category/podcast/) -- A series of interviews with creators and founders on how they built a business around their digital products. I've always been fascinated by the idea of monetizing (open source) software and creating a sustainable alternative to working for someone else.
* The Changelog (https://changelog.com/podcast/) -- A podcast dedicated to "the intersection of software development and open source" covering a wide variety of topics. I tend to skip most of the episodes on web development, but I listen carefully to anything about Go, Rust, CoreOS, etc. Bonus: The Changelog Weekly newsletter is excellent too.
* Invisible Office Hours (http://invisibleofficehours.com/) -- Hosted by the smart and funny Jason Zook and Paul Jarvis, this podcast includes topics like side projects, launching products, and writing books. I've read all books by Jason and Paul. I also enjoy their weekly newsletters. As I'm writing this, I'm already excited about the third season of their show.

#90I listen to dotnetrocks.com podcasts during my commute to work and while taking a walk. Love it so far. Learned so much new stuff. edit - I also follow asp.net\community, techcrunch, robert scoble's updates, the hacker news, fb engineering, scott hanselman, guy kawasaki and few more tech resources via my fb news feed. I also watch few videos from time to time at youtube.com. MSDN blogs, Channel 9, mvc conf, dotnet co…
What surprised me the most once I started listening was that I was expecting a very Microsoft focused show because of the name, but that ended up being only partly true. There are just as many shows that are are focused on developer tools, javascript, and the industry in general as there are shows that deal with .NET technologies. Not to mention the geek-out shows which just dive into random areas of tech and science. I really like the breadth of topic. It's in a sweet spot for me.
I'd love to find another show that has a similar scope but focuses on another language or area of technology, since it would both keep my interest while giving me familiarity with a whole other area of programming. I haven't found one yet, but maybe skimming through the lists posted here will reveal one.
