no, no, no, I've had random things hosted there linked to me before, no, no, yes. 
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Ignoring podcasts seems like the default here. I ignore them too.
But I guess it makes sense, because I tried to listen to a podcast and they were all old.
Which I would think would suit a lot of the members here (emphasis on old).

What's a "podcast"? Who's pod; and what are they casting?

I believe it is when a family unit (known as a pod) in the northern hemisphere gathers bait and casts it upon rough seas. At times the seafaring Gullible Fish will strike the bait and the members of the pod will jump excitedly and dance. 
But I'm not sure. That's why I was asking here.

The only podcasts I really get into are retro gaming and/or retro hardware related. TheRetroHour[^], on Spotify, is one of my favorites.

If anyone remembers Leo Laporte from TechTV, he's launched his own podcast "network" after TechTV shut down. A lot of his podcasts are more mainstream than developers might like, but there's a few that are still technical enough; Security Now perhaps being the most hardcore of them. Windows Weekly focuses on Windows news, and I mostly listen to it for entertainment; I just like the banter. This Week in Tech is more about tech news in general, and I could take it or leave it.
Other shows they produce focus on Apple and Android, and those are just too fanboy-ish for my tastes.

No. They're all terrible.
raddevus wrote: [ ] Do you listen to any Podcasts?
Beyond those I've mentioned above, I listen to No Agenda, which is purely news deconstruction (although there's a lot of focus on US politics, especially these days obviously). They essentially focus on exposing the BS there is in the media presented as "news". They cover enough material to keep me informed so I generally don't bother with the mainstream media--this podcast alone makes their coverage redundant. And they dig a lot deeper.
raddevus wrote: [ ] Do you ever use SoundCloud?
Nope. Give me a raw RSS feed and I'm a happy podcast listener.
raddevus wrote: [ ] Do you listen to podcasts on your computer?
Yes.
raddevus wrote: [ ] Do you listen to podcasts on a device? (is it just apple?)
Yes. No to Apple. "No to Apple" in general. My device of choice is my old Zune. Still works fine, and it manages podcasts on its own exactly as podcasts should be managed. The only reason I listen to some podcasts on my computer instead of the Zune is that some of them have dropped older encryption algorithms, and the Zune software doesn't know how to handle them.

Great answers. THanks for sharing and I'll try the leo laporte podcast.
I was just looking for some podcasts myself.

That's kind of what I thought.

Around the summer of '97 is when I moved off to the wilderness and got back into computers. (after a 10 year hiatus) Luckily, at least I had satellite TV and one of my favorite channels was ZDTV w/Leo LaPorte.

I never listen to any sort of tech podcast. My brain is already full of useless tech stuff. It will go into overload and explode if I try to absorb any more! 
I used to listen to lots of, (non-tech), podcasts when I was commuting into the office, but have seriously lapsed since WFH. Now, whilst working, I just listen to music. I can't concentrate if people are talking at me - resulting in sh!t code and losing the thread of the podcast!!!

I've listened to over 100 (unabridged) books on tape, CD, ram player over the years as I commuted to and from work. I always tried to stick with non-fiction so I'd learn something but also listened to quite a few fiction. At one point all of my listening was related to how the brain works and I really learned a lot.
And I agree I don't even like listening to music with lyrics when I'm programming. I listen to smooth jazz (only instrutmental) almost constantly.

Given that statement, I actually found one (tech related) and tried to work while listening...doesn't really work for me. At least with a video you are kind of forced to focus/watch...just a couple of guys talking shop couldn't hold my interest. That said, it might work nicely with headphones while the wife is watching HGTV reruns.

Yeah, most of them are tough to listen to. They just get into the weeds on subjects and I get lost.
