Here is a technical podcast I listen to on my commute home: https://softwareengineeringdaily.com

I don't listen to every episode, however I feel it's technical breadth and depth is fairly decent.




I second the recommendation - not too deep to make your commute mentally tiring, but still useful enough that you learn new things (even as starting points). Covers a wide range of topics, from machine learning to infrastructure, which may also help you open your views.

A similar one would be: http://www.se-radio.net/

There are also some more tech-specific ones, such as Talk Python to Me, Under the Radar (iOS dev), etc.


I find SE Radio (IEEE) to be less captivating than Software Engineering Daily.

I think it's partly because the latter has better production values, better pacing and attracts more prominent guests in the field(for instance, Martin Kleppmann, Neha Narkhede, etc.)

I find myself not being able to get through an episode of SE Radio.


I also listen to SE Radio (mainly back episodes as they don't release often). This other one look great!

My contribution would be FLOSS Weekly with Randal Schwartz (most of the time).


I third this. Software Engineering Daily tends to focus on decently technical topics (microservices, data pipeline architecture, distributed systems, deep learning), but makes it accessible to the motivated software engineer.

I like the format of the interviews. The host is not an expert in all the topics that are discussed, but he does a good job asking intelligent questions and making the conversation accessible for software folks with only a casual understanding of a particular topic, say like Bitcoins, containers, etc.

I feel the fact that the author is not an expert actually makes the show more interesting. It's kind of like an ELI5 podcast for practicing software engineers.

I often come away from each episode feeling like I have have learned something useful.
