It's 2020, the software landscape is always coming up with new media, and at the same time others suffer degrading quality.

I'm still recovering from the emotional high I received from finding a holographic Charizard card in a Pokemon mystery pack in third grade.

Looks like on Spotify or Player FM you can't leave a review...

Where ever I listen to podcasts.... Dev.to is my audio and aggregator.

Btw, is there a way to search across all podcasts on the mobile app? Search when in podcasts seems to be a search all of dev.to.
Also is there a feed only for podcast you are subscribed too?

@ben has it been successful? How do you judge success? Number of listens growing with each new episode?

Yup, listenership is growing and that's important to look at, but also anecdotal feedback has been super positive and mostly we're happy with how initial quality has turned out, but also how things have improved over as we have continued to record new episodes.

Syntax by Wes Bos and Scott Tolinski is the first dev podcast I listened to and it is still my favorite after 3 years. The episodes are funny and relax and packed with good stuffs related to web dev. Since they are both course instructors and have the equipment, the podcast has good sound quality, which to me, is important.

Btw, thanks for the latest episode(ep9) of DevDiscuss, I have listened twice and I have learned a lot! Subscribed!๐Ÿ‘

True. I remember back then I knew nothing about React that's why I skipped episode 1 - React Tools. ๐Ÿ˜‚

After not listening to podcasts for a while, I've recently got back into it. Git Cute and the Ladybug Podcast are two that I've been listening too, back to back, in the past two weeks. Lots of good advice about coding and a career as a developer.

I used to listen to Syntax religiously, but with no commute, I've found myself tuning in less

This is so true for me as well. I now listen to podcasts while I am cooking which, is not that often...

So true. Syntax is so fun to that I still find myself listening to every episode, but my content consumption overall has dropped waaaay down.

I'm a #dotnet guy so ".NET Rocks" is one of my favorites: dotnetrocks.com/

Then there is "Hanselminutes" by the awesome Scott Hanselman: hanselminutes.com/ I highly recommend it.

Another one of my favorite podcasts is the "Ladybug Podcast". Great hosts and cool topics: ladybug.dev

The "Legacy Code Rocks" show is also very cool. legacycode.rocks/

And DevDiscuss of course. But that's really obvious. ;-)

It's not pure coding, but very tech related:

Command line Heroes with the amazing raconteur Saron Yitbarek . I can't get enough of this podcast! Short episodes packed with a lot of geek stuff.

On the metal by Oxide Computer. Discovered it because I follow the incredibly inspiring Jess Frazelle on Twitter. They have a lot of really interesting episodes where they talk to outstanding guests from various IT domains but always related to hardware.
