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! WTF | :WTF:

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!!! Confused | :confused:

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. Thumbs Up | :thumbsup:

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

You can make your own here[^]. Maybe I should allow them to be embedded in the forums...

The Retrobits Podcast
Command Line Heroes Podcast

There are a couple of good C++ podcasts (one is more regular than the other). Also listen to one or two .NET podcasts and some other programming language related ones. I listen to more podcasts on other subjects, though - history, football (the non-US version of football!), music - very large variety of things.

Java, Basic, who cares - it's all a bunch of tree-hugging hippy cr*p

[x] Do you listen to any Tech Podcasts?
a bunch. Twit.tv has a range (another posted this)
added notes being:
All About Android - some rambling. some deatils points about version releases and changes.
Twit News - covers live events - meaning they talk over live events like apple or Samsung events.
This Week in Enterprise Tech - covers more tings like servers, security, it management related and news surrounding that
This week in Windows - lots of rambling talk, but some insightful things aswell.

[x] Do you listen to any Software Development Podcasts?
scanned and no one mentions .net rocks! https://www.dotnetrocks.com
been running since 2002, so no, age is not a thing to ignore podcasts.
They do cover more then just .net, they go deep and wide around software development.
Many a great guests

[] Do you listen to any Podcasts?x
others being film/movie and games: DLC, /film, radio5 film review
a few gimlet media casts: Science Vs, Startup,
BBC radio shows shared via podcast form: Curious Cases of Rutherford and Fry, Comedy of week,
infinite monkey cage

and chatty celeb stuff (mainly cause they go deep compared to your daily chat show)
Anna Farris Unqualified
Michael Rosenbaum Inside of You
Jameela Jamil iWeigh
Kevin smith SMOD cast and Fatman Beyond

Jay & Miles x-plain the X-men - 6+ year running recap of x-men, i listen new and trying to catchup in backlog which might take some more time with so many i listen to.

[ ] Do you ever use SoundCloud?
no

[ ] Do you listen to podcasts on your computer?
no - phone, with Pocket Casts app

[ ] Do you listen to podcasts on a device? (is it just apple?)
Android phone - again Pocket Casts app

app has search ("Discover") - which allows searching for all the mentioned above casts

Also i listen to all these at 1.3 or 1.4 speed sound - as its 99% talking and chatty stuff while I walk or do something low focus like playing a video game (ones with minimal voice over)

raddevus12-Nov-20 2:34

Do you get the feeling ...

12-Nov-20 2:34

Thanks for the great reply. I am going to try .NET Rocks this morning. Thumbs Up | :thumbsup:

LATER
I listened to .NET Rocks and I especially like that they were talking about the bad UX of web sites. They were really going off on the UPS site. They mentioned that if you're using it just to look up a tracking number then you don't notice but if you're really trying to ship something it is terrible.
This is the bad UX of many "professional" web sites: the site looks fine until you try to do something.

To be fair, when a user Googles for their tech questions, they see Code Project in the search results. They then go to Code Project and ask their question, only to be set on fire, made fun of publicly in the Lounge, and then told to use Google.

Confused | :confused:

I know the users that want us to do their homework for them is a big PITA, I get that.

But what good is the QA if we don't help new users with their coding issues?

Why even use the QA, even as a professional, if all of our answers are in Google land?

A lot of these users need our help if they are going to succeed in software engineering and development. They have no idea what they are doing yet.
