Back after a bit of absence! My life's been pretty crazy right now but I've found some time to get back into the project. Would love to see more discussion on #9597 as it's a pretty big proposal 😅

Hi all! I really enjoy the Code Newbie podcast for the folks they interview and the themes they cover, and especially how they approach them. Strongly recommended! For example "What it’s like to break into tech as a mother with Arit Amana" or "Why ethics and contributor behavior matters in open source with Coraline Ada Ehmke":

I also quite enjoy some episodes of the createCanvas podcast from the Processing Foundation!

Finally this is a little broader but I have really enjoyed (and even was lucky enough to be interviewed by!) the Abolition Science Radio podcast:

Hi Everyone 👋🏾 , this is an amazing checking @cesswairimu 🎉

Thanks for sharing such awesome newsletters and podcasts. I have bookmarked all of them.
I used to listen to code newbie a lot on my way to work when I got my first programming job... nostalgia!

My recommendation is not exactly a tech-centric podcast, actually, it really isn't, but I think it will be super useful to anyone interested in/is in a leadership role, or wants to learn how to have better interactions with workmates, friends, and family.

Unlocking us and Dare To Lead by Brene Brown.

Those podcasts have helped me have more courage in speaking up for myself, sharing my thoughts, and bravely asking questions when I have no idea what is happening or don't understand a topic.

Another one is how I built this by Guy Raz. I mostly listen to it when I am washing dishes, it is about how successful entrepreneurs built their businesses.

I also listen to some local podcasts just to keep up with what is happening, if you are Kenyan you might be interested in a special segment by the Kenyan Wallstreet called we are curious. They talk about tech, finance..mostly finance and the intersection between the two.
