I love the quick, development-related podcasts. They make for nice interludes between the longer-format shows, too For exampleâŚ

Subscribed. Also, very easy to subscribe on the iPhone; just tap one button. We should improve that. But Iâd like to hear how easy it is to subscribe for android and desktop and other non ios users.
it reminds me of the BV Social in college. BV being Black Velvet whiskey.
Most of my not-too-niche faves have already been mentioned. So, in the vein of newkyâs OP âin fact I often find the best new podcasts are ones that introduce me to an area Iâm less familar withâ:
My Tech/Science-related additions:
Other things
You can also get TED Talks as an audio podcast - for the talks where audio-only works, and maybe thereâs a video version too.
I use PodcastAddict on Android, with the adverts, but nicer to use than the open source players I tried. gPodder on PC (but almost never listen via that). gPodder on my Nokia N900 did a pretty good job but gpodder-on-Android exploration attempts/incarnation doesnât seem likely to ever exist/any day soon - I think I read of some basic efforts towards it years ago). PA lets you use its own player with speed control so 1.1, 1.2, or 1.3x real speed gets you through the slower ones without the Helium-voice affect and especially for less technical content or slower speakers, to fit more in to my listening time.
A bit late to the party, but +1 for Hello Internet.
Other podcasts I love:
The History of English Podcast Itâs long and covers +10,000 years of the development of English from Proto Indo-European to early modern English. Itâs still ongoing and is up to episode 43. I like it because itâs not something I know anything about - other than being an English speaker, and itâs made be change my assumptions about correctness of English.
Kermode & Mayoâs Film Review aka Wittertainment. Itâs a movie review show, but itâs not about movie reviews.
In Our Time Melvin Bragg + 3 academics shoot shit about a topic for 45 minutes. Again, I tend to listen to topics I know little or nothing about.
Other than Badvoltage, I listen to the radio, mostly.
2XM, Breakfast republic (2FM), BBCradio 2 and 6.
occasionally tune into ubuntupodcast, but MW buggers it up, with his OCD aeroplane industry yarns.
you might want to check out podlove. it has a somewhat nice subscribe interface.
also, chapter marks in BV would be great.
How do I add chapter marks?
i am afraid it depends on what you use to edit the show, I think auphonic has a relatively easily discoverable way to do it. See this, unfortunately slightly older, blog post from them: https://auphonic.com/blog/2013/07/03/chapter-marks-and-enhanced-podcasts/
Blimey, in order to resurect the deceased thread hereâŚ
This page helped me get chapter marks set up on cchits.net but basically, MP3 doesnât formally support chapter marks, although I did raise a ticket against eyed3 to get them to add support for the proposed extension from the BBCâŚ
You create a file with the timestamps and the name of that chapter in, that you run through mp4chaps for MP4 files, and a separate file with timestamps and name lines that you pass to vorbiscomment to add the metadata.
For examples of how to do it in badly written code, see https://github.com/CCHits/Website/blob/master/CLI/library.php#L674-L698 (OGA) and https://github.com/CCHits/Website/blob/master/CLI/library.php#L766-L784 (MP4)
Is there a Python one? I can see they do Python courses but no link to a podcast.
+1 Essential listening
A Python podcast which I find quite good (depending on the interviewee) is Talk Python to Me
I find programming podcasts usually quite hard to get into, but I think the presenter on this one does a decent job of asking interesting questions and hitting the right notes with their podcast.
I almost always end up looking up the project(s) mentioned.
Yeah, I do listen to that, itâd just be nice to have small updates on the community as well as long interviews.
