I recently purchased a house (which is why this blog has basically be a link post machine [sorry]) and have been doing a lot of home improvement projects and getting caught up on my podcasts as I work. I thought I would highlight a couple of the more interesting ones I've heard.

Hanselminutes

If you listen to podcasts, are a developer, and don't listen to Hanselminutes you really should. Scott Hanselman works for Microsoft so his podcast occasionally has a Microsoft bent but he also has some amazing interviews with people from around the community. I don't think I've ever skipped one of his podcasts.

What it really means to be Junior Developer with Jonathan Barronville

In this podcast they talk about what it means to be a Junior vs Senior developer and how important it is to always be learning (I agree with this totally).

Stories of Computer Science Past and Present with Len Bass

In this podcast they discuss the history of computer science and even include the horrors of punchcards (I'm always glad I missed these).

Applying Improv to Agile and Lean Startup models with Jessie Shternshus

This podcast discusses using Improv (like Whose Line Is It Anyways) for presentations.

Designing for Performance with Lara Swanson

Lara is the Engineering Manager of Performance at Etsy and she discusses how they do their testing to see how if changes affect conversions.

Shop Talk Show

Another awesome podcast that any website developer should listen to. They're focused on frontend development but it's helpful to know about this if you're a backend developer or like me have to do both.

Shop Talk Show 127: WITH TOBIAS GÜNTHER

In this episode they talk with the CEO of a company that makes an OSX GUI for git and they discuss version control in general. I'm actually going to try their software Tower instead of GitHub for OS X.

FLOSS Weekly

Another excellent podcast to listen to if your a sysadmin. It really highlights a lot of cool projects that I've actually used because of the show

The Big 300

FLOSS Weekly hit episode 300! It's interesting to listen to the history of the show because I remembered when it started years ago.

Bitcore

This is an interesting episode about Bitcore which is a JavaScript library for interacting with the Bitcoin network. I don't have a need for this but other people might.
