Spotify podcasts: Equity (by Techcrunch), A16Z podcast, Acquired, Master of Scale (with Reid Hoffman), Venture Stories (Village Global)
Venture Stories and A16Z are great. Not a huge fan of the sound effects on Masters of Scale
Security now with Steve Gibson
^This.

Steve is an engineer's engineer. He provides subject matter expertise on a variety of topics relating to security, internet privacy, and computer hardware. For the things he doesn't know as well, he researches thoroughly and does not speculate at times when many others would find it easy to do so. I have learned a lot of useful things from Steve's podcast over the years and I strongly suggest that you give SecurityNow a listen.

I've been impressed by the Go Time podcast from Changelog. Good topics, interesting interviews, well-researched and well executed. Not a huge fan of the other podcasts on that network, but Go Time seems good.
I've really been enjoying Command Line Heroes, some really good stories both old and new. I am especially enjoying this current season, which has looked at some of the hardware that kicked off modern computing.

I find the hosts voice unbearable. Great topics but it's such a grind listening to her.
Go Time is great, most of the podcasts on the Changelog network are pretty awesome, Go Time really stands out though, the hosts and guests they bring on always have great discussion. Programming Throwdown is also really good, a little less "professional" but has better in-depth discussion, their episode with Andy Hunt and Dave Thomas about "The Pragmatic Programmer" is great.
My favorite is probably Libre Lounge: https://librelounge.org/

It’s one of the few podcasts that focuses on the social aspects of free software rather than just the software itself, and as someone who thoroughly enjoys conferences like LibrePlanet and FOSDEM I feel like it has the same sort of vibe.

Embedded is the reason I listen to podcasts. Accessible yet informational embedded systems topics, and sometimes fascinating tertiary guests.

And lightning!

Brad & Will Made a Tech Pod, is a bit newer but it has been incredibly enjoyable. The two hosts (Brad Shoemaker and Will Smith) pick a single technology topic each week and discuss it in extensive detail.
