+1 wrt to the twit conversations. Leo & Steve Gibson on Security Now have regularly spoken about wosign, and it's the primary reason why my antenna immediately perked up when I saw the headline.

As a general note, the content on the TWiT network is superb. I love the great ethics conversations that are had on TWiG (This Week in Google). I've loved listening to the "coming out of the wilderness" progression of Mary Jo Foley & Paul Thurrott with regards to Microsoft on Windows Weekly. And Security Now is my guilty educational pleasure, as its greatly expanded my knowledge of security issues and topics, which have served me well over the past few years.

Seconded. I highly recommend the two parts interview of Bill Atkinson

The part about taking pictures of stones and his current venture at the end are less appealing to me but the discussion about the early days of Apple, and generally his view on technology is really interesting. There is a long part about AI.

The only podcast I listened to for years with any consistency was FLOSS Weekly. This later exposed me Security Now, This Week in Enterprise Tech (TWiET on the set! I love the catch phrase), This Week in Law (which zero of my law school and lawyers friends address when I send them good episodes), and recently Triangulation.

In the new era of Software Engineering Daily and Changelog, as I see Leo Laporte as the godfather of podcasting. I disagree with a lot he has to say, but I respect him greatly and dream of meeting him one day. He is one of my heros.

And Leo: I use Emacs, and no so much Perl. I have nothing to interview for, but I can answer to your favorite question with at least half of your favorite answer, if you read this somehow!

Steve Gibson will go into levels of detail that amaze me. The podcast on Rowhammer is a perfect example - down to the minute details of how VMs store memory pages...

Its also can be a great sleep aid.

Crap, I am not even familiar with that episode, and SN is the longest running on TWiT. Link? Is 498 or 576?
