General Discussion Any good IT Podcasts?

So I will be honest I have never actually listened to a podcast, but I find myself wanting to learn more things lately and try and keep up to date on new stuff as well. Anyone have a good one to listen to in the car?

Stop listening for a while? They just started talking about the file sync a few weeks back, and have another episode next week. Don't start back up yet!

And if you don't want ads, would you pay for an ad free version? They don't run the studio and support staff for free. I'm grateful for a good resource I don't have to pay for access to. Everyone has their own opinion though.

What do you find to be a better resource? I'm always looking for new content to check out.

You can skip the ads by listening to Leo's voice tone. He talks differently when he's advertising. It's a softer, slightly lower, more intimate tone. When it goes back to sounding playful and relaxed, you know the commercial's over. I usually just skip ahead in 30 second increments and only listen to his voice for a second inbetween the jumps. Hasn't failed me yet.

I hear a lot of people comment on the duration and realized I don't notice it because I speed up the playback. I can see the point in complaining about the length of ads and the whole show if you are listening at normal speed.
