You are probably right, wrong recollection then, or it might've been an episode where some time was spent on talking about other important points - culture, life, etc.

Podcasts (not only this one) have evolved a lot! (another fav of mine is "Go Time" and many others).

There was a good one about NTP and microsecond precision that had programming but was more a discussion of how hard time is to get right at great precision.

I have not been listening to them in the past but stumbled upon this episode "Multicast and the Markets" and I feel this has a lot of stuff about hardware and network than the software. Highly recommend to check it out.
