Software Engineering Daily

Software Engineering Daily launched in 2015 and has since published over 1,500 episodes covering just about every corner of software development. The show is hosted by Jeff Meyerson and features technical interviews that go deep on specific tools, architectures, and engineering practices. If a new framework, protocol, or infrastructure approach is gaining traction, there is a good chance SED will have an episode about it within weeks. Recent coverage has included Python 3.14 features with CPython Developer in Residence Lukasz Langa, Airbnb's GraphQL framework with Adam Miskiewicz, and WebAssembly 3.0 with its co-creator Andreas Rossberg. The show also tackles broader themes like agentic AI development, reproducible builds, and developer experience tooling. Episodes typically run 45 to 60 minutes and drop on weekdays. The breadth of the catalog is genuinely impressive. You can use it almost like a technical encyclopedia — need to understand event sourcing, Kubernetes networking, or how a specific database handles replication? There is probably an episode for that. The 4.4 star rating from over 600 reviews reflects strong content, though listeners do note that mid-roll ad placement can be aggressive. If you can look past that, you get one of the most comprehensive technical interview archives available in podcast form.
