99% Invisible is in the same category of general nerdy podcasts like Radiolab (i.e. not just meant for programmers). I think this show specifically would be interesting to hackers, on manufactured sounds for digital interfaces, but there's a lot of good stuff in the archives. http://99percentinvisible.org/post/3230995265/episode-15-the...

The podcast might be nice, but for some reason they don't publish links to the mp3 in their podcast RSS feed. Ironic to see a podcast about design making a simple UX mistake like that.

I'm not sure which feed you're looking at. http://invisible99.podbean.com/feed/ does have mp3 enclosures.

A few podcasts I like which focus more on broad technology trends, tech in society, and the future:

* Seminars About Long Term Thinking: http://longnow.org/seminars/ A little like TED, but longer talks and more focused on tech and long-term thinking. Don't miss Brewster Kahle's recent talk about the Internet Archive (http://longnow.org/seminars/02011/nov/30/universal-access-al...).

* Triangulation: http://twit.tv/tri1 Interviews with tech luminaries on the TWIT network

* Technometria: http://itc.conversationsnetwork.org/series/technometria.html Interview/conversations led by Phil Windley, creator of IT Conversations, which is also worth checking out (http://itc.conversationsnetwork.org/ ; the original home of the StackOverflow/StackExchange podcast).

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

No. It was mostly on open discussion between Jeff and Joel (There are so many "Let's discuss this after the podcast") about stackoverflow.

It is not going to be. In fact, it has not been ever since Jeff discussed his exit with Joel. (2 months since)

It may be time to start a news podcast, the "hacker new podcast", where 3 of the top HN users discuss the day's headlines and comments on HN - 5 minutes/day. Think of it as a summary of HN for HN fans who don't have the time to read all the comments.

Slate's Gabfests would probably be a good model for these. They're really entertaining to listen to, and very insightful. They've never discussed it explicitly, but their "formula" seems to include: - usually at most three main topics (occasionally more) - a closing bit of silliness - they make sure everyone has had time to prepare something to say on the topics to-be-discussed - each person has a computer handy (but…

As another Gabfest fan, I'll add: - Community involvement. Live shows and a facebook fan page which they stay active on, and refer to during the show. - Good mix of regulars, semi-regulars (usually other Slate people), and occasional guests.

No Podcast list is complete without mentioning Software engineering radio: http://se-radio.net

This compilation of podcasts by Skilldrick has some real good ones: http://skilldrick.co.uk/2011/08/podcasts-i-listen-to/ Especially, The Changelog and FLOSS weekly.

Also another small compilation from infoq: http://www.infoq.com/news/2011/09/archcasts I especially enjoy On Architecture with Grady Booch: http://www.computer.org/portal/web/computingnow/onarchitectu...

Stack Overflow (now stackexchange, you can find the old episodes on itconversations), and techzing podcasts are packed with wit and humor. Listening to Joel, Justin and Jason, brightens any day.

I also subscribe to Compucast: http://computersciencepodcast.com/podcasts.html and Channel9: http://channel9.msdn.com/

Herding Code: http://herdingcode.com/ and radio free python: http://www.radiofreepython.com/ are on my "to listen" list.

Forgive me, but what has "This Developer's Life", and "The Ruby Show" got to do with "hacking" exactly?

"This Developer's Life" is my new favorite podcast. It's introspective, and covers the mental, emotional, and personal side of the life of hackers. And it has great background music.

I think you have the term "hackers" mixed up with Fortran/AJAX/.Net developers.
