I seriously enjoy humor or political / debate podcasts, especially while commuting, but technical podcasts never stick.
I find when getting into a new framework (something like Rails or React) then it's an interesting bit of "immersion learning" to throw on the latest episode of the big associated podcast. Maybe I pick up a bit of knowledge, but just hearing people speak naturally about the framework helps me build a fuzzy roadmap in my head of the big subjects to tackle.
- motivated_gear 8y agoCompletely agree, most technical concepts require you to play with it. I've never heard of anyone learning spark from a podcast
- sotojuan 8y agoThere's technical podcasts that are guides? When listening to something like The Changelog, it's just a conversation about a technology and its origins.
- skinnyarms 8y agoMost tech podcasts tend to focus on interviews, but I tend to shy away from those. There are quite a few shows that are different though, either discussion or news based. Here are a couple of my favorites. * Coding Blocks * Complete Develop Podcast * Six Figure Developer * Weekly Dev Tips Full disclosure, host of CB here :)
- agbell 8y agoImmersion is a good term to use. I agree. You may not learn a lot of specific, but you may get the lay of the land in a low effort way.
