Other podcasts I'd recommend: ADSP [1] (if you're into programming), 2.5 admins [2] (if you're into computers). But I have no recommendations about hardware design because AFAIK the podcasts you mention and what Oxide is doing are pretty unique.

[1] Algorithms + Data Structures = Programs https://adspthepodcast.com/

[2] Allan Jude, Jim Salter, Joe Ressington https://2.5admins.com/



Jim Salter is an insufferable has been. He's a SJW-type that threatened to delete his reddit account and closed off the ZFS subreddit but came crying back like a childish addict after the reddit admins threatened to take his fiefdom away.


I've learned some very good tips from 2.5 admins but I have to take breaks often because their egos are a little much at times...

The shows at https://www.jupiterbroadcasting.com/ are my personal go-to.

Such as?


There’s plenty of questions about ZFS in the show that get answered, that’s always a given.

I’d say their opinion on “ransomware being a backup problem not a security problem” was enlightening and their backup opinions are also interesting (Push vs. Pull, ZFSes snapshotting, etc.)

Allan’s experience in FreeBSD is welcome too, not every day you get to hear about FreeBSD in prod.

They both skew FOSS too but not in an idealistic way, it’s based on decades of experience.


The Amp Hour is really the only popular hardware/electronics design podcast as far as I can tell, and it's pretty decent, especially when they have interesting guests.
