here are mine:
A Little Bit of Python
* just started on this one, but it appears to be a Python related
(da!) interview cast.
FLOSS Weekly
* from the people who brought you twit.tv, Randal Schwartz
interviews project representatives from different Free, Libre,
Open Source Software projects
GNU World Order Linux OggCast
* a Linux related podcast, hosted by Klaatu Gort
Going Linux
* a Linux beginners podcast, very thorough and beginner, though
plugs holes in knowledge even for seasoned
Hacker Public Radio
* a _VERY_ eclectic collection. essentially, anyone can record a
hackerish (not just computers) audio and put it on
Illegal Argument
* a developer podcast, mostly Java flavored, from New Zealand
Linux Outlaws
* co-hosted by Dan (UK) and Fab (Germany), a Linux news and
discussion podcast. *not children or workplace friendly*
Security Now!
* another twit.tv cast, security related. Steve Gibson and Leo Leport
Software Engineering Radio - the podcast for professional software
developers
* interviews with representatives of software projects,
development methods and more
The Java Posse
* another software news cast, guess with what focus :)
The Linux Action Show!
* a linux news and discussion cast, probably the closest to a rock
concert it can ever be (no music)
this WEEK in TECH
* the flagship of twit.tv
Ubuntu Podcast from the UK (or UUPC)
* Ubuntu centric, though not just. very well constructed, with
intermission music and all
tried to keep it on a technical level, though there are some more
music, popular science and science fictions.
