Getting Into Podcasts

Category: Personal | ToolsAlexRobson @ 04:47

Or maybe I should entitle this blog, “My Secret Shame”. I’ve got a confession to make: until this morning, I’ve listened to maybe a total of 3 podcasts… One with Roy Osherove about testing, one about ASP.Net MVC and Elijah Manor’s first jQuery podcast. Oh, the shame.

I think a lot of it is that it’s difficult for me to do just one thing at a time, and it’s a lot more natural to me to stop mid-read than it is mid-listen. Also, I am a total n00b about podcasts and the best way to get them.

But no more… thanks to the quality of content on Herding Code and jQuery podcast, I could resist no longer. I finally got around to finding a nice podcast application (DoggCatcher) and have been downloading podcasts from both feeds this morning. Right now, I’m listening to episode 71 which talks a lot about things I’m very interested in; NoSQL databases. (more on that later)

Can anyone reading this suggest other good developer/tech podcasts?
