The Tekhead Top 10 Tech Podcast Perfect Playlist Picks

I reckon that’s about enough alliteration click bait for now! If you are either a regular commuter or someone who travels a lot for work, tech podcasts are one of the best ways of staying up to date with the industry and do training without having to necessarily spend hours every week reading blog posts or El Reg.

More fool me of course, I actually do both!

As someone who is fortunate enough to work from home most of the time though, the majority of my tech podcast listening happens either when I go out for a daily walk at lunch time, when I’m traveling to client meetings, or when I’m binging on podcasts whilst getting DIY stuff done at home (it passes the time so much quicker!).

Either way, I consume a fairly large chunk of tech podcasts, and as the last time I posted a list was over two years ago, I thought I would update and re-post it here.

Tech Podcasts - Tech Podcast Meme

To be honest, not a huge amount has changed in terms of sources, though there are one or two new shows which were of such awesome quality, I had to somehow find time to squeeze them in! It’s also worth noting that I still continue to find BeyondPod as one of the most reliable and easy to use podcast consumption apps for Android!

All of these podcasts are great, but the following table is in the priority order I listen to them – you may read that as you will! 🙂

Recommended Tech Podcasts

Podcast

Notes

Speaking in Tech

Weekly – Wednesdays

Irreverent, funny, NSFW, but thoroughly informative and entertaining consumer and enterprise tech news and interviews! Greg, Eddie and Sarah are like the Fox News of tech podcasting, only more sensational! 😉
In Tech We Trust

Weekly – Mondays

Unofficially competing hard with Speaking in Tech to be the best news focussed tech podcast out there! Unmissable!

GreyBeards on Storage

Monthly Satisfying my inner storage nerd on a monthly basis, Howard and Ray talk to existing and startup storage vendors about their products, as well as industry trends. I always learn something new listening to this show!

vSoup

Irregular Though sporadic of late, vSoup feels like a comfortable chair you sit in and chat about IT with your mates. Insightful at times, and always entertaining!

vNews

Irregular Run by two fellow London VMUG members, I’d say this could almost be described as a quintessentially British view of tech industry news. Well worth listening to!

Eigencast

Irregular but often Well known industry veteran Justin Warren, talks with companies and other industry figures about the business of IT. A very unique perspective, which those of an engineering mindset sometimes have a tendency to downplay!

VUPaaS

On hiatus? Although this seems to have fallen by the wayside, I am hoping this user and use-case focused show will make a return soon!

Around the Storage Block

Irregular

I haven’t missed an episode of Calvin’s HP vendor show in years, and though I did recently feel the need to stop one half-way through due to FUD overload, it still continues to be a great source of information.

Packet Pushers

Multiple per week

I’m no network guy, but if I have the time, I always try to catch a few episodes and learn something new. I’m never disappointed!

Professional VMware Brownbag

Weekly

I generally dip in and out of the amazingly awesome vBrownbag tech podcast content depending on what I am studying at the time. I have a massive amount of respect for the effort these guys put into providing free training for the community! Just brilliant!
