Top Ten Podcasts

As an avid podcast listener I thought I would list out my top 10 all time best podcasts. I do listen to numerous others from WTF to Desert Island Discs - but this list is my choice with my developers hat on. I probably should have titled this “My Top Ten Geeky Podcasts”. There is far too little time for such a huge number of podcasts and there are many that could have just as easily slotted into this list.

1. This Developers Life- essential listening for all developers. If you haven’t listened to this podcast then consider yourself incomplete. Alas this seems to have ceased but what a treat for any developer to have this yet to discover http://thisdeveloperslife.com/
