For the longest time I listened to the radio going to and from work and have been more a less resigned to nothing on. I listen to AM 1410, AM 750 and 91.5 FM. Generally, I am looking for news but frustratingly I often end up listening to Talk Radio.
I have managed to break from this and have ventured into generating my own programming by downloading podcasts to my blackberry. With a 2 GB mini-SD card I can load quite a bit of content all at once and listen to it for several days before searching for more. While, at some point, I will start looking for something quality news sources, I am starting off with tech topics. Here are the current podcasts I am looking at:
- Software Engineering Radio – This is great and my current favorite. So far I have listened to several pods and have learned something each time. Probably the most interesting ones I have listened so is there second post on concurrency and Model Driven Software development.
- Hanselminutes – My second favorite. Scott tackles a diverse set of topics from the perspective of a developer questing for more. Very diverse, from Mocking to Hiring.
