I like the late night Linux shows. And hackaday.
Technology
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.

The EFF's How to Fix the Internet is an interesting podcast which talks about various issues with the current landscape of the internet and potential ways to improve it.
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.
Weird how people like you can't hear an opinion if the person speaking isn't gay.
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.
Who cares?
Who pissed in your cereal? People have different interests.
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.
I haven't listened lately but "Greater than Code" is pretty good.
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!
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!
