I was a guest on this week’s episode of the Packet Pushers Heavy Networking podcast. Of the many wonderful podcast series from the Packet Pushers, Heavy Networking is the original that started it all.
This episode is about the career progression from Junior to Senior Network Engineer and it was recorded about a month ago.
Please check it out here.
Earlier this week I was on an episode of Jerry Landry’s wonderful podcast the Presidencies of the United States Ep 3.34. On this episode I read one of the opening quotes about former VP Aaron Burr stirring up trouble around the Mississippi River in 1806-1807.
Earlier this week I was a guest on another episode of Russ White’s podcast The Hedge Ep 74. On this episode we discussed a quote from Michael Collins’ autobiography about test pilots helping to create new Fighter Jets. I though the quote also applied to creating and using networking gear so we discussed.
I was honored to be a guest on Russ White’s wonderfully nerdy show. Here is a direct link to the audio file Link or just go your favorite pod-catcher and subscribe to get all the other great episodes.
I didn’t think I was nervous but once the Zoom recording started, I indeed got very nervous and tripped over my words on at least one occasion. I really thank the editor of the podcast for making me sound a lot better.
Yesterday, I was a guest on my first official podcast1. It was Episode 64 of Russ White’s podcast The Hedge. On this episode we discussed burnout. I was honored to be a guest on Russ White’s wonderfully nerdy show.

1FYI, I was on a group Zoom call back in April of 2020 and that was posted as a podcast. Link I sorta count it, you’ve gotta start somewhere.
This is a list of my favorite podcasts. I love listening to podcasts and therefore I listen to a lot of them. Hopefully you all will get as much enjoyment out of theses podcasts as I do. Or atleast use it as jumping off point to find something that you do love. Podcasts are mostly very friendly medium and therefore are known for promoting each others shows so I’m always finding more stuff to fill my ears.
One question I often get is how I can listen to so many podcasts. The answer is that I listen to most of them at 1.5x or 2x speed. Also, most of them are only weekly.
The list is broken up by categories. Not everything fits neatly into one single category but I tried.
I left off several podcasts that are no longer producing new episodes, that had very short runs and/or I only listen to certain episodes. I will only include it on this list if I listen to almost every episode but I will still stay subscribed to it. Also, I omitted podcasts below about politics and religion for hopefully obvious reasons.
Finally a new website should launch soon that promises to be the IMDB but for Podcasts, it is PodChaser.

Hardcore History by Dan Carlin Link
One of the best and most entertaining Podcasts. The podcasts are so long, they are basically audiobooks, amazing juicy audiobooks. Dan Carlin was one of the first and most successful podcasters so it’s not a surprise that most History podcasts sound like his because, “Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.”
