The Laracast Snippet: https://laracasts.simplecast.fm
The Laracast Snippet is hosted by one of my favorite online instructors, Jeffrey Way. In fact I owe alot of what In know to that guy. What I love about these episodes is he gets into the self help world of a developers life. Many of you know that’s something I’ve done quite a few videos on and I think that stuff isn’t talked about enough. Things like burnout and overdoing it. It looks like the last episode at least according to this site was in July. Im not sure if the podcast has ended or not but either way, there are some valuable past episodes.
ShopTalk: https://shoptalkshow.com
ShopTalk is a front end UI/UX podcast hosted by Chris Coyier and Dave Rupert and each week, they feature a special guest. I actually haven't had the time to listen to this podcast but I’ve heard good things and I plan on diving into some of these episodes soon.
Syntax: https://syntax.fm
Ok, so last but not least, in fact if your any kind of JavaScript developer, this is probably the most valuable resource on here and thats the Syntax podcast with Wes Bos and Scott Tolinski. Both of these guys are course instructors and YouTubers and just geniuses when it comes to explaining things like es6+, react, graphql, node.js, tooling and much more. There are probably only like 3 episodes that I haven't listened to yet. They both have great personalities and they’re very down to earth. I don’t just listen to Syntax for education but also entertainment. They also speak in a way that’s easy to understand. Some of these other podcasts are a bit nerdy but I feel like Wes and Scott are just two normal guys that have a passion for this stuff, much like myself. Hopefully you can find something here that will help you become a better developer and help in your life and career.
