Coder Radio

Coder Radio has been a weekly fixture in the software development podcast world since 2012, making it one of the longest-running shows in the space with nearly 590 episodes. Currently hosted by Mike, the show takes a pragmatic look at both the art and business of software development — covering not just what tools and languages engineers are using, but the industry dynamics, career realities, and business decisions that shape the profession. The format is a weekly talk show rather than a strict interview podcast, which gives it a different energy from most engineering shows. Mike brings his own development experience to the table and riffs on current tech news, emerging tools, and industry trends. Recent episodes have featured conversations with professionals from companies like Red Hat, MongoDB, Tabnine, and Cisco, covering topics ranging from Docker and AI-powered development tools to vector databases and open-source business models. What Coder Radio does well is treat software development as a profession with business, cultural, and economic dimensions — not just a set of technical skills. The show appeals to engineers who want to understand the bigger picture of the industry they work in. With a 4.7 star rating from 152 reviews, it has maintained a loyal audience over more than a decade. Episodes drop weekly and run about 45 to 60 minutes.
