I have been listening to podcasts for about 3 years now. The first podcast I have ever listened to was This Week In Tech and I have been hooked ever since. Podcasts are a great way to learn something while on the go. Here is a list of stuff I listen to
This is a weekly podcast about the tech news for the week. The best episodes are the ones with John C. Dvorak in my opnion
This is a show with episodes on Tuesday and Thursday, mostly about .NET but also some Open Source and JavaScript now and then. Shows with Ted Neward and Chris Sells are my favorites
This is all about security, Steve Gibson is the host and he usually dives deep inside a topic. Take for example the multi show crypto one
Security Now 30: Crypto Issues
Security Now 33: Symmetric Block Ciphers
Security Now 34: Public Key Cryptography
Security Now 35: Cryptographic Hashes
Security Now 37: Primes and Certificates

There are some more podcasts I listen to but these are my main ones.

Denis has been working with SQL Server since version 6.5. Although he worked as an ASP/JSP/ColdFusion developer before the dot com bust, he has been working exclusively as a database developer/architect since 2002. In addition to English, Denis is also fluent in Croatian and Dutch, but he can curse in many other languages and dialects (just ask the SQL optimizer) He lives in Princeton, NJ with his wife and three kids.
