Great Podcasts - Programming
As I spend time working on my projects I often need something to fill the backround noise. One of the ways I do this is by listening to podcasts. I feel that podcasts while entertaining also provide some educational value and allow me to not get too buried by my focus while learning something new. Not only do these podcasts enlighten me to new ideas and topics but also really help to supplement the long commute that I have.
To kick off my series of posts I will post the programming podcasts that I listen to while I drive and while I work.
