Useful Technical Podcasts
Just a list of the current ‘vaguely’ technical podcasts I am listening to at the moment. I’m interested in podcasts on eLearning, software design, Internet technology and general computing, Project Management, Finance and Economics and Business. Really the struggle is to find canonical voices in each of these areas.
Stackoverflow: (http://blog.stackoverflow.com/?feed=podcast) was always a favourite of mine, but they don’t seem to have broadcast since April. I haven’t looked into why yet. Stackoverflow was Jeff Atwood and Joel Spolsky spouting forth about the process of developing a successful web application and bringing it to market.
eLearning Stuff: (http://feeds.feedburner.com/elearningstuff) - I’ve just started listening to this and it’s providing me with a great feel for the current state of the art with eLearning systems and politics without having to spend extra time on it (ie. Listening whilst driving/programming etc). I shall keep listening and would recommend it to you if you are in the sector.
Money Talk: (http://feeds.feedburner.com/MoneyTalkPodcast) - Is a podcast by David Kuo. David Kuo is the financial expert from Suntalk with Jon Gaunt and he has a very entertaining manner. He’s strong on financial restraint and monetary discipline.
PCPro Podcast: (http://feeds.feedburner.com/pcpropodcast) - It can be a bit silly, but it does keep me up-to-date with the latest in consumer tech which very often overlaps with my role here.
This Week In Google: (http://leo.am/podcasts/twig/) - Very helpful and really keeps me up-to-date with the politics going on between Google, Microsoft and Apple etc as well as providing loads of interesting tips on new technologies and how they can be applied.
I’d welcome any of your comments (all zero of you who ever read this blog!) on any podcasts you’ve found useful in these sectors.
