DEV has compiled a nice list, too 🎧

Hey look at that! I should've linked to those in my post, I completely forgot about the addition.

They did an awesome job with it and are podcast oriented themselves: DevDiscuss and DevNews 🎧

I heard that's a pretty good one 😉

Most of my podcasts help me forget about work so they are mostly for entertainment or to catch up on the latest in science. I started tinkering with Swift and found Swift by Sundell to be a great podcast.

I like John’s natural style and even though I have zero Swift projects, I really enjoy listening to him and his guests geek out on the finer points of view controllers and hstacks.

That's a good point, and I love to do the same! I'll probably post a follow-up about non-tech podcasts because it's important to have hobbies and avoid burning out 🙂

Thanks for the recommendation though, I've been interested in Swift and this may be a good starting point.

I've been listening to toolsday regularly for some time now. It is mostly about web development. The hosts both work as developer for big tech firms and they have great insights to share on latest technology trends. I like their interviews as well. Plus, the hosts have great personalities, I rarely find their discussion boring even on technologies that I don't personally like.

Command Line Heroes by Saron Yitbarek is excellent and a great walk through the history of computing and the people along that journey:

Corecursive, which specializes in functional programming and very abstract ways of thinking. The host is very good at picking guests who can just ramble on in a good way.
