Recommended Podcasts for IT Professionals

I regularly make reference on Twitter to the various Podcasts and Audio Shows that provide me with interesting listening on long car journeys or when I’m out walking. It’s amazing how much you can learn by regularly listening to Podcasts, which I find entertaining and inspiring in equal measure.

I’ve also written on Why You Should Listen To Podcasts for Personal Development.
