Podcasts & Perl

I’m an avid listening of tech podcasts. My podcast subscription list is so large I have a backlog that in some cases stretch back a year.. sometimes two!

There are some podcasts where I do keep upto date with (MacBreak Weekly, TwiT), while there are others I dip in and out of as my time and mood dictates.

Early this year I encountered a Perl conjunction among my podcast listening which culminated in Merlin Mann shouting “Perl, Perl, Perl” in MacBreak Weekly 182: There’s An App For That.

This was the main inspiration for me to write yesterday’s post. Today’s follow up is simply to list all the Perl “related” podcasts that I listened to:

FLOSS Weekly
Opensource podcast hosted by Leo Laporte with Randal Schwartz or Chis DiBona. Below are feature episodes in this podcast series:

• Catalyst
• BioPerl
• Chromatic / Brad Fitzpatrick
• Randal Schwartz
• Ward Cunningham

Linux Outlaw
Linux and opensource podcast. The following were on episodes of the podcast:

• Allison Randal & Chromatic on Parrot
• Randal Schwartz

This Week In Tech
Weekly tech roundtable with Leo Laporte at the helm. Below were guests on TwiT (see yesterdays post)

• John Graham-Cumming
• Dan Bricklin

I’ll finish off by mentioning a wonderful dedicated Perl podcast from the Portland Perl Mongers who provide recordings of their regular talks.

PS. I would have also like to have included Perlcast but it appears to have fallen off the web. And Perlcast twitter hasn’t been updated since May 2009

Hopefully it will return in not too distant future?
