Sitepoint (Web General)

This is a great (weekly) show hosted by Kevin Yank and Louis Simoneau and is full of the latest news, trends, features and things you didn’t know you didn’t know! A must listen in my humble opinion! http://blogs.sitepoint.com/category/podcast/.

Hanselminutes (.NET and Web General)

I really enjoy this one. Hosted by Scott Hanselman of .NET fame. The show is full of mainly .NET topics, but does spill over to some nice web orientated show’s. The main thing I like about this show is, Scott asks really good questions! By this I mean as if he knew nothing so you learn a lot from this one! Head over there now for more info http://www.hanselminutes.com/.

This is my favorite! A little more infrequent (2 weeks to a month at a time), the show is jam packed full of news, tips events and other eye candy! Head over to http://workersoftheweb.com/ to see a treasure trove of Awsomesauce!
