This article features my personal top 10 podcasts which I will recommend to every .NET developer. Some of these may also have episodes on software and web development in general or may also go off topic a little but .NET developers will find lots of .NET related content in these podcasts. Please also note that I am not ranking these podcasts by any means and the following list is only based on what I normally listen and like. I am sure there will be more good .NET related Podcasts out there which I haven't listened yet so I will appreciate if you can share few more Podcasts in the comments section for me and other readers.

## .NET Rocks

.NET Rocks! is a weekly talk show for anyone interested in programming on the Microsoft .NET platform. The shows range from introductory information to hardcore geekiness. I love the way Carl Franklin and Richard Campbell keep their listeners interested in the topic with funny jokes. I tried my best not to miss any episode they release because most of the time their guests are top professionals from the industry. The show started in 2004, and by now they released more than 1700 episodes spread over 16 years.

The Hanselminutes is a weekly commute-time podcast that promotes fresh technology and fresh voices. You can learn a lot by listening other technologists and developers real life experiences.
