Tech Podcasts - Keeping Up-to-Date

I recently came across an article by the NY Times that mentioned a few podcasts on technology that I thought would be helpful. Keeping up with technology is an on-going process, so any resource that can help me do that is something I think is worth passing along. In addition to the ones mentioned in the NY Times article, there are a few more that I find useful in keeping up-to-date on technology.

Several of the NY Times podcasts are focused on science, but for more of a technology focus the “Reply All” and “Note to Self” stood out. You can read more about them in the NY Times article link here.

Here are my favorites that have stayed on my podcast list for a long time. If you're looking for more ideas, search for “technology podcasts,” and you'll find a few dozen or more listings, some with as many as 35 podcasts.
