It's become far too long and not focused enough for me to enjoy lately, but it's a nice change of pace to hear about new or lost ideas, rather than hearing about mundane tech I see and hear about every day anyway. Less Rust, Javascript and k8s, and more revisiting papers and moonshot ideas from the 80s for me, please!
A great introduction to this podcast is the Devine Lu Linvega (of 100 Rabbits fame) double episode about writing his own tools, and orca, his music live coding platform.
- Soft Skills Engineering: very humorous and light take on the people side of SWE
- StaffEng: interviews with engineers with staff+ roles
- Lenny's: if you are into product, growth and startups in general
It was already mentioned by a sibling comment, but podcasts from the Changelog are also very good.
Recently I started listening to Acquired, starting with their episodes on Nintendo and Sega, then Microsoft. Not all of their episodes are tech companies, but plenty are if that’s what you want.
Software Unscripted sometimes, and Rustacian Station occasionally. CoRecursive as you already mentioned.

I started an open source scrollset compiling the list here: https://pldb.io/lists/podcasts.html (source: https://github.com/breck7/pldb/blob/main/lists/podcasts.scro...)
[2] Reply All (which apparently ended in 2022 as I just learned) - https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reply_All_(podcast)
- The Data Engineering Show
- Signals & Threads by Jane Street occasionally releases programming-focused episodes, although they haven't updated for a while.
Tech:
- Hard fork by NYT
He has great advice to new learners starting their career.
I created a YT Playlist of 50+ Lex Fridman programming, robotics, AI, tech, etc videos. Feel free to reply (with URLs) if I missed any.

I can't listen to them anywhere I want. I have to pause and rewind constantly to catch detail. I can't underline something significant or save it for later.
