Podcasts

Part of my motivation for building this blog (apart from PHP being just so much fun), was the persistence of my 1993 style links page on each iteration of my website from that time onwards. So here goes my totally web two point zero links bonanza.

I like audiobooks, but thanks to my decrepit phone and Audible DRM, I found myself looking elsewhere for audio distractions. On the whole Podcasts fill this niche nicely:

• Stack Overflow Podcast - Entertaining and often informative developer luminaries and creators of Stack Overflow.
• The Skeptics' Guide to the Universe - Skeptical goodness with a K.
• Quack Cast - Mark Crislip, an Infectious Disease specialist, talks about alternatives to Medicine (as opposed to Alternative Medicine).
• Democracy Now - Quality independent news with a progressive slant.
• This Week in Tech - Tech, Online Media, Social Networking. Sometimes a Meta-podcast.
• HanselMinutes - An intelligent, informed speaker goes a long way to make the often Microsoft .NET centric content, interesting for me.
• Stephen Fry's PODGRAMS - Rarely published bite sized goodness from my original Twitterlebrity.
• The Ricky Gervais Podcast - Gervais/Merchant hilarity with inexplicable Karl Pilkington for good measure.
• This Week in Startups - Jason Calacanis interviews successful Startup creators.
• The Mobile Orchard Developer Podcast - iPhone developer interviews.
• The Startup Success Podcast - Startups from a developer perspective.
• Software Engineering Radio - Interviews and discussion on specific programming topics.
