I listen almost exclusively to TechZing and 5by5's Back to Work[1] these days. Maybe mix in a Changelog[2] episode if I'm interested in the project being covered.
Back to Work isn't really tech or programming related, but both hosts do have tech backgrounds. They mainly talk about things like dealing with fear, workplace issues and personal productivity. There is humor and chemistry so I'd say it might be right up your alley. The first couple episodes aren't that good (it seems like they are circle-jerking each other until you get to know them), but stick with it till at least Episode 5 (one of my favorite podcast episodes ever).
If you find that you like Back to Work, maybe try Build & Analyze after.
Changelog has the technical detail, if you are looking for more of that. They seem to be releasing less often these days (or maybe I'm just not following it as closely) and the whole "we love sass, we love ruby" recurring theme is kind of annoying.
But I really love Tech Zing the most, so I'd be keen to find any other recommendations that are similar.

- rkalla 15y agoMatt, I appreciate the heads up, I wasn't familiar with any of those and you are right, if a couple of hosts have great chemistry it makes up for the lack of tech so B2W sounds like it might be a good fit for me. Thanks!
