Here's a few I enjoy:

AWS Podcast: http://aws.amazon.com/awspodcast/

The FrontSide Podcast: http://frontside.io/

The New Stack Analysts: http://thenewstack.io/

Software Defined Talk: http://softwaredefinedtalk.com/

GigaOm had a great one as well called The Structure Show but it's now defunct as of last week.

You're missing a dash on the AWS podcast: http://aws.amazon.com/podcasts/aws-podcast

Thanks for mentioning this, didn't know AWS had a podcast.

• Philosophy • - Partially Examined Life: http://www.partiallyexaminedlife.com/ • - Philosophy Bites: http://www.philosophybites.com/ • Comedy • - Bill Burr Monday Morning Podcast: http://www.billburr.com/podcast • - The Bugle Podcast: http://thebuglepodcast.com/ All you need is philosophy and comedy, anything else is superfluous.

The Bugle regularly makes me laugh out loud on my commute, although I'm not sure quite how well it translates for non-Brits. Co-host Andy Zaltzman is the brother of Helen Zaltzman who also co-hosts an excellent comedy podcast, Answer Me This.

A fellow bugler?! Well met, good sir. I like its Britishness and frequent references to cricket and other such obscure and quaint social rituals. In truth - though I am a non-Brit, I am an inhabitant of the Emerald Isle persuasion and require very little in the way of machine translation.

I am listening to Answer Me This! as I type my reply to you and I thank you for the pointer.

Invisibilia is new but sure to be a hit: http://www.npr.org/programs/invisibilia/ Also Startup: http://gimletmedia.com/show/startup/ Both dance around our world regularly enough to include them.

Very funny... I made it through two episodes of Invisibilia and couldn't figure out why it was pissing me off. Sure enough, vocal fry: http://www.thisamericanlife.org/radio-archives/episode/545/i...

http://risky.biz/ Focused on security

Hell yes. Risky Business has been my favorite new podcast discovery this year, and I can't believe it's actually been running for 7 years. It's really well presented, the segments flow well and are informative & entertaining.

If you've currently got Security Now on your podcast playlist, definitely pick this one up. I think you'll feel like you've been shortchanging yourself all this time.
