Going more specifically into Software
- Frontend Happy Hour (Ryan Burgess from Netflix and other smart SWEs/managers) (https://www.frontendhappyhour.com/)
- Screaming in the Cloud (Corey Quinn) (https://www.lastweekinaws.com/podcast/screaming-in-the-cloud...)
- Syntax FM (https://syntax.fm/)
Probably one of the best episodes is the interview with Andreas Kling, the author of Serenity OS
He interviews well-spoken programmers and skill leaders from a variety of language ecosystems -- and usually the guests share his appreciation for simple, strongly typed, functional and pure functional programming languages (like Elm).
Currently Richard Feldman is building a new language and ecosystem inspired by Elm but for non-browser application domains -- and he often discusses concepts and engineering trade offs as related to the design and implementation choices that are being made while growing this (to me quite exciting) new language.
- Randomly Typed (haven't seen a new episode come out in a while but these two Canadian guys are great!)
- Coding Blocks (I like their book club episodes a lot, specifically DDIA)
- Talk Python To Me
- Software Engineering Daily (most episodes that came out until 2020 or so are excellent and go to such depths that I haven't encountered from any other interviewer, quality of newer ones isn't consistent)
- Jane Street's Signals and Threads
- Techmeme Ride Home (tech news)
- Data Skeptic (data science)About systems programming and open source. The episodes go surprisingly deep and are still fast-paced and stream-of-consciousness with contributions from anybody who has something meaningful to say in their group call.

I also like Business wars but that's not "tech" exactly.
Fascinating listening to how others learn and grow.
Screaming in the Cloud by Corey Quinn. https://www.lastweekinaws.com/podcast/screaming-in-the-cloud...
Similar episodes plus more snark than you can poke a stick at.
For both of these, I like that the hosts are clearly biased.

I cast a wide net in my information gathering, but I tend to still skim a boatload of content...
Because, I don't trust any of it. I take the skeptic (not cynical, there is a difference) on all content.
Because given that I have been on the internet for decades, I've seen how the sausage is made through a number of company lenses and roles....
However, as I age, one thing I have found out is that expertise atrophies at an incredible rate.
I was one of Intels DRG managers testing all sorts of kit, from private dealings with the initial Unreal engine, gaming testing on plasma monitors for subjective visual glitching etc...
But the space of tech is just so fn huge these days, and expertise (and relevancy) don't age well....
So, I just dont know who to keep up with given the scale of tech info out there... as Tech has become the Mycelium to the Human Organism (the fruit of the Tech-celium) - We built the ornaism that controls us.

Discussion about the trends
* over-use of sound effects
* shouty people
* unfunny jokes (might get a chuckle in the pub, but that's not why I'm listening)
* saturated by advertising
Darknet Diaries gets the balance right. I'd love to find more which provide that kind of value.
Covers random stuff, if you wanted programming specific I could suggest some of those but many are already pointed out by others
