Who doesn?t love to hear the opinions of peer developers? Frankly put, some of the most useful resources I?ve picked up are from listening to different opinions and thoughts. I?ve put together a small but comprehensive list of my favorite podcasts. The core topics revolve around coding, well-being, philosophy, and how to cope with a different set of challenges.
I find myself listening to podcasts while doing the dishes, on an airplane, driving, or commuting. The things I learn from podcasts add up really quickly ? there?s so much to learn, yet so little time ? why not try to maximize ways to improve?
If yours didn?t make it to the list, please post it in the comments and I?ll make sure to check it out!

Coding Blocks

We are a few guys who?ve been professional programmers for years. As avid listeners of podcasts and consumers of many things code-related, we were frustrated by the lack of quality programming (pun) available in listenable formats. Given our years of experience and real-world problem-solving skills, we thought it might be worth getting into this world of podcasting and ?giving back? a shot.
