Tech Podcasts

One of the best things I have started to do over the last year for my career is listen to technical podcasts. Whether I am commuting to work or washing the dishes, I get to stay on top of the latest tech news, learn about new (and old) technologies and get direct access to some of the brightest and most talented people in our industry. On top of all that, they are often entertaining.

Podcast players are notoriously bad. Recently, I made the switch to PlayerFM. I enjoy PlayerFM because it syncs across platforms, has double speed (I listen at 1.7x - give it a try you might never go back) and it is easy to share useful links.

Below is a short list of some of my favorites right now. Even though I currently work in .NET I find the podcasts about other languages interesting and useful to broadening my horizons.

• .NET Rocks - Site - PlayerFM
• MS Dev Show - Site - PlayerFM
• HanselMinutes - Site - PlayerFM
• Ruby Rogues -Site - PlayerFM
• Security Now -Site - PlayerFM
• Hello World - Site - PlayerFM
• Functional Geekery - Site - PlayerFM

There are many other podcasts that I subscribe to including business and entrepreneurship but this is a good starting point for anyone interested in technical podcasts.

Did I miss any? I would love to hear your thoughts about these and other podcasts.
