I’m a longtime This Week in Tech listener and I’ve realized that downloading the new episode every Monday morning has become a habit I could never imagine quitting.

As I was thinking about that, I’ve started wondering which other tech podcasts are people listening to, and if that’s second nature for them, too.

So, what’s your favorite technology podcast? (And why should I start listening to it? I would love some recommendations!)

      Only recently started to listen to podcasts in my car. Spotify recommended me Darknet Diaries, I’m at episode 10 so far and liking it! Does it maintain that quality, does the content shift by episode 100 or does it more or less stay consistent?

        I’ve also been listening to Darknet Diaries since episode 1. The quality remains high and the stories always interesting.

      Agreed. Started casually listening a few months ago. The content quality is so high! Started with the first few then jumped around. So far I’ve liked every episode I’ve listened too.

      In the same vein, Malicious Life is also good, though Ram is a bit difficult to understand.

      I also love Smashing Security and Hacking Humans for the news side of Cyber Security

    TWIT is also my go to. Haven’t missed an episode for over a decade. Used to watch Leo on Tech TV. A veteran of the industry that still keeps current, and he also is always bringing in younger guests and specialists to fill gaps and add different perspectives.

      Same here! My only gripe with the whole network is that it’s financially struggling and that has some effects on the podcasts themselves. All About Android getting shut down is a prime example. Also I think the guests were better (or just more famous?) some years ago, but that may be a symptom of the higher competition in the podcasting space. I wonder if you have the same impression!

    I look forward to Grumpy Old Geeks Podcast every week. Two old timers from the tech industry. tagline for the show is “What went wrong on the internet and whose to blame.”

    My top 3 are:
    Foss Podd - Has interviews with open source devs from some pretty large projects
    Self Hosted - If you’re interested in self hosting, you’ve probably come across some of their resources, why not listen to them?
    Unnamed Reverse Engineering Podcast - Interviews with hardware hackers and talking about the tools they use. Very interesting.
