Stevey's Blog Rants
Steve Yegge was an employee at Amazon.com and now works for Google. He's a smart guy, and knows more about programming than I would if I studied for 168 years.
Cafe au Lait
Elliotte Rusty Harold has written more books than I've read in my life I think. He teaches at Polytechnic University in Brooklyn and was cool enough to post a Java course he teaches on his site.
Signal vs. Noise

Stack Overflow
I've been listening to this one (usually during a long late night walk around my neighborhood in south Austin with a ½pint of Jack) ever since it started in mid-April of 2008. The hosts are Joel Spolsky and Jeff Atwood, and they talk about software development and various cool things of interest to programmer/developer geeks. I highly recommend it!
Diggnation
Kevin Rose and Alex Albrecht, formerly of The Screen Savers on Tech TV, put on this weekly show and discuss geek things while drinking import beer. Kevin also started the popular Digg news site in 2005.
NerdTV
Interviews with current and historical tech people by Robert X. Cringely. Most of his shows are really interesting, with the exception of one (episode #9). And a new season is about to come out soon too, woo. Bob Kahn and Andy Hertzfeld are my favorite episodes.
InfoWorld Daily
Technology news every day with host Tom Sullivan.
The MicroISV Show
Michael Lehman, the MicroISV Evangelist, and Bob Walsh, author of �MicroISV: From Vision to Reality�, co-host a weekly interview show featuring developers who both develop the software and run their own businesses.
Ruby on Rails Podcast
News and interviews about the Ruby language and the Rails website framework, hosted by Geoffrey Grosenbach. I like a lot of the interviews, but sometimes you have to choke down some elitist dumbassery (like pointless shit-talking about PHP and other non-Ruby languages), but there are still some good discussions to be heard here.
Grid7 VentureCast
Bi-weekly podcast with interviews of local Arizona tech entrepreneurs, hosted by Sean Tierney.
BoagWorld Podcast
A couple of limey's "talking about news and advice on website design and management without overwhelming you with techno babble." Can be entertaining, although somewhat lacking in geekier tech content.
