Today it’s a national holliday here in Peru and I just came to the office to catch up with some bit of work and all the way here from home I’ve been enjoying a very interesting interview with Anders Hejlsberg, the creator of C# and Chief Language Strategist for Visual Studio at Microsoft. He talks about many topics but the most interesting bits were about the advantages of dynamically-generated static code like they do with LINQ and ASP.Net as opposed to using dynamic languages.
This podcast is part of a great show I’m now a fan of: Software Engineering Radio. They have been interviewing some big names recently and I’ve been enjoying the episodes with Erlang’s Joe Armstrong or CORBA’s Steve Vinoski. A great show, the interviewer knows very well the software developing field and suggest really nice topics. I have many of this SE Radio podcasts waiting in the pipeline including topics like relational databases, SOA, functional programming, aspect-oriented programming, REST, transactions and many other currently relevant subjects. Free Software fans can find an episode on GNU GCC and UML fans can find one with Grady Booch as the guest.
Other podcast i’m a big fan of are the always great programs at IT Conversations, DotNetRocks and of course FLOSS Weekly and Security Now among others shows from the Leo Laporte’s TWiT network. Leo is a great radio commentator and the guy who helped podcast become popular.

For Linux I used to enjoy The Linux Action Show a lot but haven’t listened to the show in the past few months. Before I tried listening a bit to Jono Bacon’s LUG Radio.
There are certainly a few other podcast I listen to or used to listen in the past. Last year I used to catch up with the major Rails news by listening the Rails Envy podcast and this year I’m complementing my following of Django listening to This Week in Django. If you’re interested in a PHP podcasts you could try PHP Abstract.
So this blog post is all about saying thanks you to the people behind the many podcasts I’m listening again since I got a portable MP3 player again since the one I previously had got the earphone jack broken somehow.
Some guys from these shows tell you to spread the word about their podcasts and it’s something I definitely feel good to do since I really enjoy their work.
