Mo recommends: "Entrepreneurial Thought Leaders" published by the Stanford University

The Stanford University's podcast is a great resource for entrepreneurship. It focuses on sustainable success rather than short-term return.

Check out the podcast here: Entrepreneurial Thought Leaders – The Founder's Dilemmas

Flo recommends: "The Changelog" published by RIZN Media

The Changelog has awesome guests for every episode that really push the technology, but always stress the importance of Usability and really building a great product. I listen to all of them!

Check out the podcast here: The Changelog – #89: Docker, LXC and dotCloud with Solomon Hykes

Manuel recommends: "Shoptalk Show" published by Chris Coyier and Dave Rupert

I've been following Chris' CSS-Tricks for years. When he started the Shoptalk Show Podcast I immediately got hooked. In August 2013 we got the chance to talk to Chris and Dave about Continuous Deployment and Automation. Which we gladly did.

Check out the podcast here: Shoptalk Show – 083: Continuous Deployment and Automation

Clemens recommends: "RailsCasts" published by Ryan Bates

RailsCasts a rich source of Ruby on Rails tips & tricks. Unfortunately it's not continued anymore, but nonetheless still worthwhile.

Check out the podcast here: RailsCasts – #412 Fast Rails Commands

Alex recommends: "Giant Robots Smashing into Other Giant Robots" published by Ben Orenstein and thoughtbot

The Giant Robots Smashing Into Other Giant Robots podcast is a weekly technical podcast discussing development, design, and the business of software development. Ben Orenstein is great and I really like this podcast.

Ben recommends: "Edge Cases" published by Andrew Pontious and Wolf Rentzsch

The most nerdy and insightful podcast on (mostly) software development. i just love how they dig into every detail. <3
