Almost 3 years ago I write a post about which developer podcasts I was listening too at the time. Some have stuck and I’m now listening to more local content and even a few more non-technical shows.
Here’s what’s currently on my phone (via Podcaster);
- Techie ones
- The Ministry of Geek– wide range of geek topics from a couple of talkative Kiwis – sometimes funny, sometimes informative, usually rambling, always worth a listen.
- NZ Tech Podcasts– really good wrap up and perspectives on local and international tech stuff
- .Net Rocks– while not usually deeply technical Carl and Richard are great interviewers and know, from 10 years and 776 podcasts, how to run a show. While they do cover a range of topics there is certainly a Microsoft slant.
- The Hanselminutes Podcasts - good range of topics, not always Microsoft focused, even has his wife on now and then
- Non-techie ones
- This American Life– by far my favourite podcast at the moment, really polished production, great format. They chose a theme and wrap real life stories around it. Obviously American bias but not so much it spoils it. Great – if you listen to only one podcast this should be it!
- RNZ – This Way Up– short sound bites from Simon Morton, well researched, interesting and good range of NZ focused content
- Freakonomics Radio– exploring the “hidden side of everything” by the authors of the book by the same title. American based again but great range of topics, well produced.
Know any other ones that are worth a listen?
