Andy Hunt is famous for his pragrammatic programming books and website, so when I saw some links on his site to some podcasts I thought they would be pretty good. I was surprised initially by the content. About three of the podcasts are excerts from books. One of the books is "my job's gone to India and all I got was this lousy book" and there are also a couple of podcasts from "behind closed doors"

I will warn you the podcasts are not very long and there isn't many of them (five or six). Most of them are about five minutes long and listening to them won't give you any programming tips. I listened to them and they were actually quite interesting, they are spoken a bit like a small story or parable.

if you fancy it here's the link to the podcasts
