Visit URL once per week, download, listen. Focusing on what someone's saying, I find important, so I listen at my desk, via laptop speakers, and don't multitask anything. Then forward (via email) to any friends that may be interested in the content.

These are the podcasts I'm subscribed to:

Tech related

Various randoms from the always awesome https://player.fm/featured/web-development

Check out Risky Business. Very well produced podcast on security / infosec, both amusing and informative. They know what they're talking about and are active in the industry. Makes me regret ever listening to Security Now:

http://risky.biz/netcasts/risky-business

I'll also give a plug for Bootstrapped.FM:

http://bootstrapped.fm

If you like riskybiz, you can also try http://www.defensivesecurity.org/ It is more rough analysis of some events during the week.

The Tim Ferriss Show - http://fourhourworkweek.com/podcast/

Learn from the best!

I usually find lots of good podcasts under "Software How-to" category. https://itunes.apple.com/us/genre/podcasts-technology-softwa...

My current favorites are Talk Python to Me and Startup School Radio.

I have a repo to share my summaries & notes by episode:

https://github.com/tedmiston/notes#podcasts

Product Hunt podcasts. Lots of entrepreneurship relevant content: A16Z, HN, as well as their own maker interview series ;)

The best podcast I've found in years is Scott Carrier's Home of the brave (homebrave.com)

Some of his episodes are the best audio pieces Ive ever heard.

I listen to my podcasts using Overcast for iPhone. I used to use Beyondpod for Android. They are both great.

    * Inquiring minds
    * Waking up
    * Hardcore History
    * Rationally Speaking
    * The Tim Ferriss Show
    * Very Bad Wizards
    * You are not so smart

Related question: When do people listen to podcasts? I can't listen while I work, and my commute isn't long enough to get through many podcasts.

Bathroom/shower time, driving, laundry, smoke breaks, cooking dinner, cleaning.

Hm. Those are all my thinking time. When else do we get a chance to just cogitate on things? The modern urge to anesthetize ourselves with sound at every opportunity to think, makes me wonder if we've become afraid to be alone with our thoughts.

Or you could only listen during half of those things.

Among other times, while walking...either the dogs or for exercise.

Cooking dinner, brewing morning coffee.

I sometimes listen to a personal finance podcast when I put my son to bed. He usually falls asleep within 30 seconds :D
