how could "StackOverflow" not be listed here? love listening to this show because it is a) technical & b) funny in a "Statler and Waldorf" sort of way ~ http://blog.stackoverflow.com/category/podcasts/ and also ByteIntoIt, a real radio show also podcasted & streamed ~ http://www.rrr.org.au/program/byte-into-it/
will there still be a stack overflow podcast though after Jeff quit stack exchange? the last episode is from december 8th 2011

Yes: Merlin can be _extremely_ rambly and he often has a hard time staying on topic, but when he is on, he's on. The last three episodes have been especially great on topics such as risk, valuing yourself, and looking at the big picture in determining how to live your life and career. They resonated very well with me as someone who has taken the plunge of quitting my job and working on my own apps and projects.
