Techmeme Ride Home podcast 📡#MediaMonday
A daily tech news podcast, around 15 minutes, with free ad-supported or paid ad-free editions (I prefer the latter). They cover all kinds of tech, not just Apple.

Dithering podcast 📡 #MediaMonday
A fairly new podcast from the insightful Ben Thompson and John Gruber, talking about current tech news and issues. Three episodes per week, exactly 15 minutes per episode.
Wonderful! podcast 📡 #MediaMonday
Everyone can use a bit more optimism in these pandemic times; this podcast features Rachel and Griffin McElroy talking about things they enjoy. It’s such a cheerful podcast. (See also the related site wonderful.fyi.)
Pod4Ham podcast 📡 #MediaMonday
A fascinating podcast about the musical Hamilton, where each episode features different groups of interesting people talking about a single track from the Original Broadway Cast Recording.
Upgrade podcast 📡 #MediaMonday
An excellent Apple-focused podcast, that talks about hardware, software, services, and related topics. Topical today, they have excellent discussion of WWDC announcements.
With the addition of the recent ATP, Upgrade+, and Connected Plus subscriptions, I’m now paying over $100 per month for podcast & blog memberships. Which while a lot, is worth it to me for all the hours of entertainment they provide. And in several cases, bonus content like after-shows, unedited shows, or no ads. I wish more of my favorite podcasts offered such options, especially no ads. 💵📡
For completeness, one more example of supporting things I believe in and enjoy: I also joined the new Accidental Tech Podcast membership program. 💵
Release Notes podcast 📡 #MediaMonday
An excellent weekly podcast about the business side of indie development: “inspiration, design, marketing, business, trends, and tools – everything but the code”.
I admit, I usually skip podcast ads that I’ve heard lots of times before, but I rewound Upgrade 295 to listen to the Fully spot, and was glad I did; a fascinating story. Visiting their site, interested to see they’re Portland-based, too.
Listening to the Release Notes podcast, I was sad to hear @DazeEnd and @joec say they don’t plan to hold another conference this year (and possibly ever); I really enjoyed attending last year. But I totally understand their reasoning.
