Android development podcasts to help you stay up to date

Iโve had a number of questions lately about which podcasts Iโve been listening to, and where to find them, so I thought Iโd share a small list of relevant Android development podcasts for you to check out.
tl;drโโโ7 Android Development Podcasts
- Fragmented
- Android Developers Backstage
- Talking Kotlin
- The Context
- droidkast.LIVE
- Andro idiots
- Android Leaks
Fragmented
This has been my go-to Android development podcast for a long time. Donn Felker and Kaushik Gopal do a terrific job of putting out consistently great episodes on all manner of Android-related topics. They generally sit down with other Android developers to discuss tools, libraries, patterns, etc.; all relevant to the world of Android development.
Android Developers Backstage
Android Developers Backstage Podcast
This podcast comes straight out of the Googlersโ mouths as itโs hosted by Chet Haase and Tor Norbye from the Android teams at Google.
I enjoy this podcast because it generally offers deep dives into Android topics usually including guests that actually work on the tools/libraries. Because of this, I think it offers a level of insight thatโs difficult to replicate elsewhere.
Talking Kotlin
Talking Kotlin with Hadi Hariri is a wonderful resource if youโre wanting to learn more about Kotlin specifically. It covers everything from the world of Kotlin include Kotlin on Android, Kotlin Multiplatform, KotlinConf, etc.
The Context
The Context is another community-driven Android development podcast hosted by the trio of Artem Zinnatullin, Hannes Dorfmann, and Artur Dryomov.
This is another great option if you are wanting to hear what other developers are working on and thinking about in the world of Android.
Bonus Android Development Podcasts
I also want to include a few other podcasts that might be worth checking out.
Android Leaks Podcastโโโa French Android development podcast that I recently came across. I donโt speak French, so I donโt really know a whole lot about it but itโs out there.
Andro idiots PodcastโโโThis is a new one which someone pointed out to me recently. Itโs pretty new, but has a nice backlog of episodes going and covers a variety of Android topics.
droidkast.LIVEโโโAntonio Levia has a small backlog of episodes consisting of interviews with other Android developers which culminate in a smaller learning presentation at the end.
Where to Listen?
For those using Android devices, I highly recommend Pocket Casts as a podcast app. Iโve been using it for years to listen to Android development podcasts (really all of my podcasts) and have been extremely happy with it.
As an alternative, Iโve used Google Play Music for podcasts in the past which does a pretty good job as well.
I havenโt been overly impressed so far with the Google Podcasts app, but itโs out there as well and might be getting more attention from Google right now than Google Play Musicโs podcast support.
Other Useful Resources
I love to meet/talk/discuss and help where I can. If you want to chat or ask a question you can follow me on Twitter, YouTube, Instagram and Facebook.
