My Podcasts

Time to fire up the blog...

This post just lists up the podcasts I regularly listen to with some description. I have a long commute so I can easily catch up on podcasts. I also listen to podcasts while I exercise. I can't really listen to podcasts while I work. The podcast is either just background noise or I don't do any work. Not sure how other people catch up on podcasts while working. I am a very "single threaded" person.

Before listing up some of the podcasts, I need to mention the podcast app I use. Downcast (http://www.downcastapp.com/) is the one I use. Lots of great settings with some information iCloud synced to multiple devices. Some of my favorite things about the app are speed adjustment (I listen at 1.5x speed), pull to refresh, and background downloading per iOS rules. One thing to watch out is the episode iCloud sync. It sometimes deletes unplayed episodes because I didn't download it on another device.

Life:

No sure how to name this category. Probably could have just listed as "Not Technology".


TED Talks (http://www.ted.com/):
  • You have heard of TED right?
Wait Wait...Don't Tell Me (http://www.npr.org/programs/wait-wait-dont-tell-me/)
  • Funny NPR news game show.
Car Talk (http://www.cartalk.com/)
  • NPR show that talks about cars. Hosts are very funny.
This American Life (http://www.thisamericanlife.org/)
WNYC's Radiolab (http://www.radiolab.org/)
Rodderick on the Line (http://www.merlinmann.com/roderick/)
  • Hard to explain, but very stream of consciousness and funny. Warning, bad language, so adults only.

Tech:

  • Most of my work is in .NET.
Developing Perspective (http://developingperspective.com/)
  • Podcast on developing in iOS, but a lot of great concepts that can be used in development with other technologies.
  • I told you I work with .NET.
Herding Code (http://herdingcode.com/)
  • Let me tell you again, I work with .NET.
  • Stack Exchange people talking about their work and decisions.
