Which are your favorite podcasts about programming?
I recently took up running and need a few good podcasts to listen to while doing so. I thought this would be a great opportunity to broaden my general programming knowledge and keep more in touch with new developments - can you recommend something?
Everything goes, from weekly stuff summarizing new tech to deep dives into certain topics.
My favorites are:
- CoRecursive
- Security Now
- Breaking Math
- This Developer's Life
There are some that I haven't started yet:
- Software Engineering Daily
- The Changelog
- Signals and Threads
- On the Metal
- Soft Skills Engineering
Book overflow - they review coding related books
I enjoy The Primagens podcast “The Standup”. It’s on the ramblier/sillier side, but it features some serious discussions as well.
Developer Voices with Kris Jenkins. Great in-depth conversation with developers about a new and interesting project they're working on.
Kris Jenkins is a top-notch interviewer! He lets the interviewee talk, really pays attention and asks good follow up questions. I know that sounds like standard things an interviewer should do but at least in tech podcasts few seem to.
Security Now https://twit.tv/shows/security-now
Every week there will be news topics, sometimes there are deep dives into technical topics.
Tangentially related, but I really enjoy Hard Fork, which covers the tech industry generally.
Corecursive easily. It's actually properly produced and very well presented. Not one of those rambling unscripted chats.
I like self directed research, it's mostly rust stuff, but has some really interesting topics mixed in.
The local-first podcast, localfirst.fm, is quite good
The embedded.fm podcast about (whodaguessed!) embedded programming is pretty great. I was surprised at how amusing they managed to make the topic and the excellent quality of interesting guest they continually recruit!
I've subscribed to a few, though I often find myself getting lazy about listening to them. So take my suggestions with a grain of salt.
Some I used to listen to, some I've wanted to listen to, some of these coworkers recommended in recent weeks that I have little to no idea about. Hopefully this helps you find something you like!

RIP Coding Blocks. I listened to them for years but they are on a permanent hiatus.
