Top Technology Podcasts

In no particular order here is the list of of technology related podcasts that I frequently listen to.

  • Cranky Geeks – Not cranky enough, but John C. Dvorak and guest rant on latest technology news.
  • Diggnation – A weekly tech/web culture show based on the top stories on Digg.
  • Drunk and Retired – They are not as drunk as one would hope, but they do tend to go off on Rails, software development, and zombies.
  • Google Developer Podcast – Googlers talking about the latest Google APIs.
  • The Java Posse – The seminal Java podcast put out by Google, Sun, and Apple engineers, just hope they never have to pronounce your name.
  • .Net Rocks! – A weekly talk show for anyone interested in programming on the Microsoft .NET platform.
  • Railscasts – Free, and most importantly frequent, Ruby on Rails screencasts ranging from 5 to 10 minutes covering testing, migrations, controllers, and more.
  • WebDevRadio – This podcast covers web development news with the occasional interview with engineers working on projects with .NET, MySQL, PHP, etc.
  • Polymorphic Podcast – Insight into software development in the .NET platform along with interviews with industry luminaries.
  • Code Sermon – The podast somewhat preaches to the choir. This is a somewhat semi-weekly sermon on the virtues of software development best practices.
  • Killer Innovation – A podcast about creativity, innovation, and idea generation. This podcast will present ideas to think outside the box, or IDE.
  • Grails Podcast – Keeps you up to date about the latest Grails developments.
  • NetBeans Podcast – Hosted by Roman Strobl of Sun, this podcast has the occasional interview with NetBeans developers like Tor Norbye and Geertjan Wielenga.
  • Ask A Ninja – Every programmer needs a break between hacking sessions.
  • Rails Podcast – News and interviews about the Ruby language and the Rails framework.
  • Entrepreneurial Thought Leaders – This podcast is put out by the Stanford business school. It usually has business leader share their experience.
  • Floss Weekly – Free/Libre Open Source Software might be free, but it is not timely.
  • Late Night Cocoa Podcast – Usually has hacking cocoa and API discussions and Cocoa practitioners, currently on summer hiatus.
  • TWiT – Leo Laporte and gang talk technology, unless they are reminiscing about their TechTV days or how to monetize ‘netcasts’.
  • Scoble Show – Robert Scoble talks with geeks, technologists, and developers.
  • GigaOm Show – Om Malik and Joyce Kim talk with entrepreneurs in the valley and run down some of the latest tech news.

If you feel I missed any other developer noteworthy podcast please let me know in the comments.

    I believe that Hanselminutes at http://hanselminutes.com/ is one of the better technology-related podcasts. Scott discusses mostly software but has spawned some interesting discussions with his recent ‘casts on building the ultimate developer PC.

    Software Engineering Radio at http://www.se-radio.net/ is always informative, if a little dry sometimes.

    You missed a big one. If you want to talk about software development, then Software Engineering Radio is a must. It covers broad-field topics such as SOA, MDSD, Design By Contract, Code refactoring, Dependency Injection, Dynamic Programming Languages, etc. etc.

    It’s more like a college course in Software Engineering, and it always provides a lot of good resources for learning some new programming paradigm, design method, or general Software Engineering principle, pattern, or process. Very good to listen to.

    Can’t leave out the Maximum PC Podcast. It’s not completely developer related, but neither is diggnation. http://www.maximumpc.com/articles/Podcast

    Great list! To contribute, we just launched a Ruby on Rails news podcast over at Rails Envy: http://www.railsenvy.com/podcast. It fits in with everything here. Take care and thanks for the list.

    Thank you for the inclusion of http://www.webdevradio.com in your list – it’s an honor to be up there with so many great podcasts! I would also submit that http://boagworld.com and the ‘oursql’ podcast series at http://sheeri.net/ are both well done and informative for web and mysql people.
