Technology Podcasts

 Tech Podcasts

I enjoy listening to Tech podcast's when I have to complete some of the less glamorous work that DBA's have to do to keep the lights on.

I have put together a list, which I will share below, of some of some of the shows I tend to listen to when I get the chance.

They are all Tech based and cover a wide range of topics from software engineering to Open Source software, Security, Politics and related subjects.
