Last week, the AppMap team shared their 8 favorite tech and software podcasts.

We're developers, so the media we consume covers the complexity of the software industry... and a ton of NERDY stuff, too! Like Linux, web dev, and the 2000s.

Let's get into it.

Shop Talk Show

Dave Rupert and Chris Coyier produce a weekly podcast about building websites - front end web design, development, and UX. They have guests and answer listener submitted questions. This one features a banjo! and thoughts on long-dead Google Reader.

GIANT ROBOTS

... SMASHING INTO OTHER GIANT ROBOTS. Rotating between three hosts, this podcast is "about the design, development, and business of great software." Recently they interviewed Brittany Martin, a co-host of The Ruby on Rails Podcast, a podcast featured in our last post. Oh, and here's my friend Lauren Maffeo, the author of Designing Data Governance from the Ground Up.

Cathode Ray Dude

The host of this YouTube channel quit his day job a month ago and is now much happier spending his energy on his video channel (not really a podcast) about "cameras, computer mice, and the 2000s."

PROOF

This podcast is all about in-depth NFT coverage. Venture capitalist Kevin Rose and team "interview NFT artists, both up-and-coming and industry icons. [They] also cover the generative art scene, the NFT gaming/metaverse, and founders building new tools for creators and collectors." I like cool domains so will be checking out this one with David Greenstein, co-founder of sound.xyz.

The Linux Experiment

The host, Nick, treats this as a safe space with "no techno babble, no super technical content" that focuses on "Linux desktop news, simple tutorials, application spotlights, and opinion pieces trying to stay positive, without gatekeeping." It's no surprise that his step-by-step walkthrough of how to switch to Linux has a gazillion views.

The a16z Podcast

The team at Andreessen Horowitz, a silicon valley venture capital firm, interviews "industry experts, business leaders, and other interesting thinkers and voices from around the world." Interestingly, they are looking for the next host of the podcast!

Got any super nerdy podcasts or video channels to share with us? We need more, clearly.
