I don't listen to podcasts while programming, I listen to them in the shower or during a drive. I do find the interview format to be a great way to learn (at a high level).

Maybe a weird question, but how do you listen to podcasts in the shower? I find the water is loud enough that I can't hear speakers outside the bathroom, and phones or laptop inside. I don't really want to figure out mounting a sound system in my shower...

    I have something almost identical to this (except the brand was Bush, probably just a white label). It sounds great & works well, but I stopped using it because the volume controls are hard to adjust precisely. You have to press & hold, and the volume ramps up too quickly. If I was buying another I'd look for something where the volume controls are separate from the forward/back buttons. It was very good quality in every other respect, though.

  I find my iPhone (6s) speaker, when turned all the way up, is loud enough if I aim the speaker to bounce the sound off of a wall opposite to the shower. In my case it's far enough away that it doesn't get hit by any water.

  There's some good waterproof BT speakers, as well as some phones are waterproof enough to come into the shower with you (been doing this with my iphone 7, and just bought a speaker)
