A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

It feels like every time I find a podcast about security/networking/technology the hosts end up saying some pretty off-color stuff, or I look them up and they also host right wing podcasts. Are there any that are more leftist, hosted by LGBT peeps, or at least not actively bigoted ?

It’s a niche, rather than general technology, but the Internet of Things Podcast - Stacey on IoT is always professional. It’s hosted by Stacey Higginbothem and it’s refreshing to have womens perspective in a heavily male dominated industry.

I like the late night Linux shows. And hackaday.

Here are a few I listen to that stick to the topic of their shows. I don't listen to podcasts that aren't political by nature to hear politics.

  • The Privacy, Security, & OSINT Show
  • Firewalls Don't Stop Dragons
  • Linux + Open Source News, by TLE
  • Surveillance Report
  • Darknet Diaries

I can't help you with a left-leaning podcast. But if you want an informative and politically neutral show, check out https://dailytechnewsshow.com/

Can second DTNS, it's very neutral and is just about the news. Although I feel like certain hosts definitely lean left but it really never comes out because they just stick to the tech topics.

ATP has a lot of Apple talk, but the hosts fit the bill you describe as I'm pretty sure they're all left of center. Not that politics come up a lot, but there certainly aren't any off-color jokes. ATP's John Siracusa hosts another podcast with Merlin Mann called Reconcilable Differences, and Merlin Mann hosts another I like called Back to Work, and they talk a lot about tech as well. Neither is a strictly tech podcast but I enjoy them all the same.

Any podcast on the Relay FM network sounds like what you’re looking for!

Who pissed in your cereal? People have different interests.

I haven't listened lately but "Greater than Code" is pretty good.

[–] Cybrpwca@beehaw.org 3 points 2 years ago

It's not an exact match but I've been enjoying Hard Fork.

I don't reddit anymore but one who occasionally showed up on /r/BreadTube was "The Hated One," seems infrequent (or maybe has gone behind a paywall, not sure). astoundingteam.com/wordpress/2…

It’s Apple focused, but Accidental Tech Podcast definitively fits the bill!

I've been a fan of "Working Code" so far, no off-color beats yet

[–] CableP13@waveform.social 2 points 2 years ago

Decipher Security for a heavy infosec focus

Technology Pill by Privacy International for something looking more at the impact of tech on society and human rights

And as other have said I do enjoy the occasional Linux unplugged!

[–] someguy3@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 years ago

Pivot. It's more high level and look at business rather than in the weeds.
