What's your favorite tech podcast? (lemm.ee)

I'm a longtime This Week in Tech listener and I've realized that downloading the new episode every Monday morning has become a habit I could never imagine quitting.

As I was thinking about that, I've started wondering which other tech podcasts are people listening to, and if that's second nature for them, too.

So, what's your favorite technology podcast? (And why should I start listening to it? I would love some recommendations!)

Opensource Security podcast, 2.5Admins and pretty much anything by Joe Ressington, Hacker Mind, SelfHosted.

How To Fix the Internet by the EFF.

Beers with Talos

I found TWiT to be one long ad for Microsoft products.

Joe Ressington

Ooh, that's a name I haven't heard in a long time! I used to listen to him on Linux Action News - or was it Linux Action Show? That man has had soo many podcasts, lol. Anyway I used to love it, and I don't even remember why I stopped listening. Either him or his co-host stopped doing it, I think?

Edit: TWiT is definitely not a "long ad for Microsoft products". Maybe one of their guests loved MS?

I'm not sure what the situation was with TWiT at the time, this was a few years ago. I listened to 3 or 4 episodes and it was around some update shenanigans that they were totally whitewashing away, and pushing an agenda. I didn't bother following it any more.

And as for Ressington, I haven't any complaints about his podcasts, they all are interesting topics with interesting co-hosts, and his production quality is the best I've seen of all the podcasts I listen to. If everyone built their podcasts like him, I'd enjoy them a lot more.

He was on LAS but Fisher sold the podcast network he built, Joe ended up working for the new company and then got shitcanned because he presumably used the word "cunt" in a meeting and the Americans in the meeting weren't familiar with how that's kinda Commonwealth vernacular. He went all in on his own podcast network and seems to be doing well for it. Good for him, I think it was a step up from working with JB.
