Here's a list of my favorite podcasts and episodes that I have discovered over the years. Most of these are interviews with various makers and founders because I find it very inspiring to hear their background stories. It's also a great way to get ideas for your own web development projects!

If you have a favorite podcast or episode from a podcast, share it below! I'm always looking for new things to listen to.
