Great list, thanks! I’ve been a big fan of Web Axe and Boagworld, and will definitely check out some of the others. Cheers.
What a great list. I’ll definitely have to get my headphones out and start listening to them.
great list! do you know about the live training videos at creativetechs.com/training? You should check those guys out they’re making some great content!
Thanks for the mention – we hope everyone has a chance to listen… be sure snag our two latest shows! One recorded live with Jeffery Zeldman & Ethan Marcotte on Designing With Web Standards 3rd Edition, and the other with Scott Thomas on Designing Obama.
Great list – thanks!
You forgot two of the largest developer specific podcasts I know of and that is:
http://deepfriedbytes.com
and
http://dotnetrocks.com
These are both high quality well respected shows in the community (at leat my community). How they are left off the list just shows that this list *really* isn’t for developers.
Love it. Thanks for the list!
Thanks for the list! Amazing.
Great list. I love web dev podcasts. I plan to link to this post on my website freeinternetmarketingaudio.com. Check out my site for a few that aren’t mentioned here.
Great resource thank you. I think we have a great profession as designers when we can be working and learning (listening to podcasts).
Nice resources for Podcast Video. Thanks for that!
You didn’t mention The Big Web Show, hosted by Dan Benjamin and Jeffrey Zeldman. This is a relatively new podcast show compared to some on your list, but it is definitely relevant and well done. Check it out:

nice so`
In celebration of its 5th anniversary, Dennis and Ross discuss the history of Web Axe and several memorable moments. Then, nine special guests provide excellent insight and information relating to web accessibility including Paul Boag and Bruce Lawson.
Since I’ve just recently got myself the new iPod, I’ve become an addict to finding gems in the podcast library. Apparently I’ve missed a few.
Awesome list here, Thanks for sharing – I will now have something to listen to whilst travelling 🙂
