Podcasts for software developers
For me, podcasts are a great alternative to listen to music when I exercise, commute, do some chores, or cooking. Over the last few years, I’ve built up a decent-size list of almost 100 subscribed podcasts but happen to listen regularly to only a few. That’s my curated list of podcasts (not just about coding) which I think are very valuable for software developers.
Table of contents:
Software Engineering
Software Engineering Daily- if you have time to listen to only one podcast, that’s the one. Jeff Meyerson puts a lot of effort into understanding the tech and interviewing guests to bring listeners closer to one of many topics ranging from cloud, data science, open source, blockchain, and software development. Daily.

Part of the Changelog network.Jabber- co-hosted by Charles Max Wood, Aimee Knight, and AJ ONeal. The podcast features the wide variety of topics and thoughts on given technology. From time to time episodes have a different format called MJS (My JavaScript Story) where invited engineers share their story about how they got into JavaScript.Shop Talk Show- Dave Rupert and Chris Coyier discuss front-end, WordPress, small e-commerce, and Q&As.
