We all like to blab about ourselves how smart we all are and how much we know, but you cannot be good at every topic, right? We all sometimes have that moment when your friends are talking about something and we don’t have a clue what the heck they are talking about, but how come so they know all about it, this happens to me a lot I don’t know about you but it bothers me a lot and especially when you are a techy geek like me who just every time wonders about Computers.

I cannot know about each technology, but as a programmer, I have an urge to learn something every day, but I don’t have time to read blogs or watch tons of Youtube videos. So I chose a better medium to do it by listening to the podcast, We definitely cannot learn how to code by just listening but podcast makes concepts very clear. Podcasts can help you in understanding about a specific topic by dedicating your one whole sense (obviously your ears) only to understand a topic. I listen to a lot of tech podcasts but as to help my programmer friends I am sharing my 5 top podcasts that every programmer should listen to.

5. Software Engineering Daily

4. Learn to code with me

Hosted by Laurence Bradford, by the name of the podcast it is no mystery what this podcast is all about, the host of Learn to code with me is a self-taught techie.

1. Coding Blocks

This podcast is my personal favorite I have never missed a single episode of this podcast. Hosted by Allen Underwood, Joe Zack, and Michael Outlaw Coding Blocks is the podcast where all the three hosts chat about a particular topic like if you leave 3 techies into a small room, it’s just make everything so fun to learn, by this podcast you will learn how to become a better software developer.
