Podcasts and why I love them for Computer Science

Syntax, Whiskey, Web, Whatnot, JS Party, Javascript Jabber, Enjoy the View, the list goes on... when it comes to podcasts that can help a software engineer.

What makes Podcasts so helpful?

The main reason to listen to the above mentioned podcasts is to both learn challenging aspects of computer science, but also to find out about new tools that can later be researched.

Some podcasts can really go on a deep dive where as others might only give a cursory skimming over of topics. A deep dive maybe a bit too much in the moment but can be revisited. A shallow skim can be good to re-orientate one's brain on a subject.

For example, you may know React Redux pretty well, but listening to a podcast about it can help connect the dots a bit more and provide insights on how to explain it to others. The podcast can also explore aspects of Redux like its history or deep dives into certain aspects of Redux that can be explained better.

Lastly, a lot of podcasts, like Syntax, have a lots of great links in their show notes for further deep dives!
