Excellent Microsoft technology podcast
I just listened to the Tim Heuer episode on Silverlight and the discussion was technical, honest and generally refreshing. Being a Microsoft developer technology Podcast creator myself i tend to be very picky but this podcast is easy to listen (great audio quality) to and will teach you a lot.
Technical Beef Jerky
Insightful, beefy, caffeinated, tech discussions with cheese and jalapenos.net on top!
