podcasts I really enjoy:
- Mostly Erlang (most episodes aren't actually about Erlang, main theme seems to be functional programming)
- Ruby Rogues (mostly Ruby, but I'd say more accurately about programming in general by really smart people who happen to use Ruby)
- Wideteams (working remotely, found this because the host is a Ruby Rogue - I (heart) Avdi Grimm)
- NodeUp (actually node specific, so probably not as useful to non-node people, dshaw's voice may take getting used to)
- Hanselminutes (Scott Hanselman is a MS developer, but the podcast isn't about that - basically him interviewing people that he and other developers find interesting)
- This Developer's Life (about deverlopers the people, not their jobs, these are not generally discussions, they're more like stories.. awesomely put together)
- Coder Radio ("the art and business of software development", good discussions with audience, who seem to mostly be beginners)
- Giant Robots Smashing Into Other Giant Robots (good interviews with many different people, sometimes Ruby centric as it is produced by ThoughtBot)
podfaded, but worth listening to archives:
- The Farmhouse Podcast
- The Ruby Show (awesome hosts)
- The JavaScript Show (same hosts as The Ruby Show, I (heart) Peter Cooper)
other's I've listened to but got stopped listening to to save time/space:
- SE Radio (software engineering radio, by IEEE)
- Herding Code (programmer round table, mostly MS guys)
- This Agile Life (round table about people who care way too much about agile and XP)
