Give your top three, and optionally a summary of what they're about and why you love them.

They don't have to be programming related podcasts (but those are certainly welcome). I am mostly interested to hear about podcasts of any genre, but I am posting it here as I'm keen to get the opinions of other tech workers, fans and hobbyists.

My favourite three are:

Darknet Diaries
I imagine this one is familar to most podcast fans that might stumble upon this post. The host is a fantastic interviewer, storyteller and producer. He interviews incredibly interesting people and shares their stories about all things dark net: hacking, social engineering, dark web, darknet markets and more.
Self-Hosted
A podcast about all things self-hosted. The two hosts are passionate self-hosters who like to discuss open-source solutions, self-hostable products and technical setups. They are highly experienced and have a ton of useful information to share. They have great guests on the show, and have built a brilliant community around the topic.
Coding Blocks
A general software engineering podcast. I find some episodes a bit hit or miss, but the three hosts are hilarious, informative and very entertaining. You can tell they are three very close friends who absolutely vibe off of one another. They cover all sorts of topics including programming languages, development tools, books, conferences, frameworks, companies and more.

Darknet Diaries is so awesome! I love hearing the actual stories behind the hackers instead of just that they hacked something. Also, Jack is an awesome host

I really don't listen to podcasts very much, but the one I do listen to regularly is https://maximumfun.org/podcasts/greatest-generation/

Mostly for the nostalgia of Voyager.

Other than that, I'll listen to comedy bang bang, but I haven't listened to that in quite a while.

The only time I really listened to podcasts was on my commute, but I don't commute anymore

Yes, no long commuting has slashed my podcast listening time too. I now only listen to them on the school run (if my son wants to listen too), or during chores.

Yeah doing the dishes is about the only time I ever listen to podcasts. I'm also just not a podcast person in general.

I listened to https://www.thisamericanlife.org/804/the-retrievals that was pretty good
