I listen to a lot of podcasts these days. It all started about six or seven years ago, when I searched for one about iOS development, and got hooked on More than Just Code.

Some of the podcasts I’ve listed are no longer active, but the past episodes are still available.

In some cases, such as Hypercritical, I went back and listened to the entire run of the show long after the last episode was released.

Topics include:

  • Apple, technology, and programming
  • Opinions, personal stories, and ADHD
  • Lifestyle, productivity, and getting organised
  • Entertainment, TV, and movies
