I've recently started listening to The Changelog [1], which I like. Generally the discussion is pretty interesting, though I think sometimes it could benefit from a bit more subject-matter expertise from the interviewers - though, to be fair, they're cover a lot of languages and technologies.

Some recent episodes have covered:

- React / React Native / Flux / GraphQL with some Facebook people

- Elixir language and Phoenix web framework, with the creator of Phoenix

- Spark (the IOT hardware, not the compute framework) with its creator

Very interesting topics! It seems to be one the 5by5 podcasts and they generally have good quality material.

Even the topics you mentioned are quite different from each other, no wonder if interviewers are not experts on those or even close. :)

Thank you for the suggestion!

Shameless plug: We are streaming the biggest Social Media conference (re:publica 15) of Europe next week. There's going to be >450 free live streams with all talks being instantly archived when they are done. The talks include all the aforementioned topics - and of course, there are also available as Podcasts(;

Thanks! I think this shameless plug might interest people reading the blog post. :)

The placeholder texts didn't give good impression, but the web-site overall looks interesting.

Thanks a bunch! I did hope so, too.

Specifically for re:publica, we're hooked to a JSON API and are pulling the sessions hourly. There's still a lot of change going on (which is common for conferences that size, of course). Here's the last report of our sync script with the result pushe to Slack[1]. The state of "Doomguys" face shows how well formed the data came in(;

Before the conference starts, there's going to be more pictures and probably better metadata.

Looking forward to trying some of these. I usually try a tech podcast once in a while and feel like I'm working rather than relaxing. :) My favorite exercise-time podcasts have been Spycast, Film Sack, StarTalk, and Radiolab. Occasionally I'll search the podcast directory by personality so I'll find e.g. a podcast where Scott McCloud is interviewed, and listen to it, but not actually subscribe to the podcast.

Thanks! Definitely going to try podcasts you mentioned.

Shop Talk Show is something so cozy that even if they talk things that are work related you don't feel like you are working. More like drinking tea/beer/coffee with friends.

I'm lucky to be the editor of both the Shoptalk Show and the Changelog. Great shows with good people. I'd recommend checking out the seanwes podcast (life changing), Developing Perspective, CodePen Radio, Core Intuition, Let's Make Mistakes, Mac Power Users, Systematic, and the Accidental Tech Podcast.

99% Invisible is excellent, although probably off topic

That might be good for the category: "For curious minds". Thanks for the tip!

Because curiosity and web development are synonyms.

Well said

Great... I will see, thanks a lot.

No problem, I hope found something.

There are plenty of others, but these are the ones that have survived the hard competition to reserve the precious "ear-time".
