Until last week I was indifferent to podcasts. Not really indifferent - I knew they exists, a lot of people likes them, they’re about things that sometimes are interesting for me. But I had absolutely no time to listen to them… Blogs & mailing lists are my choice to feed my knowledge and laziness demons…
Being car-less lately, offered me an opportunity to dig into podcast’s world. In my 30-40 minutes commuting I’ve start listening to audio feeds. So far, my preferred are:
Despite relatively slow informational flow and manageability (it’s way easier to re-read a phrase than rewind an audio stream for an interesting passage, or diagonal read versus jump back & forth to skip something) podcasts made my commuting a bit more enjoyable.
An Update: Scott Hanselman (the author of Hanselminutes cited earlier) is asking his readers about their favorite developer-oriented podcasts, and publishing his own favorites: Hanselman List of Podcasts for .NET Programmers. Very impressive list to compliment my own.
Happy listening…
