Software Engineering Radio is a podcast targeted at the professional software developer. The goal is to be a lasting educational resource, not a newscast. SE Radio covers all topics software engineering. Episodes are either tutorials on a specific topic, or an interview with a well-known character from the software engineering world. All SE Radio episodes are original content — we do not record conferences or talks given in other venues. SE Radio is brought to you by the IEEE Computer Society and IEEE Software magazine.

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.
This podcast has the things I want in a pod: 1) Interesting and varied topics with knowledgeable guests. 2) Hosts who are clearly knowledgeable, interested, and prepared for the interview. 3) Interviews are not rushed to fit an artificial schedule. I hate it when things are not given the time they deserve because they hit the 40 minute (or whatever) mark and it gets cut off. 4) It also remains chill. Everyone is interested in the discussion but not acting like they’ve had 10 cups of coffee or invented the warp drive.
Content is a mixed bag, but even when an episode is good, the audio production quality is poor. Makes it hard to listen to at higher speeds and requires close listening that most podcasts don’t.
Most software engineers I know have deep pockets of expertise, but not in every area. This podcast does a great job of providing a broad range of topics at an understandable level.
With a deep, interesting backlog of shows that span technology and practices, I love SERadio's focus on practical topics for the "working engineer".
I have really enjoyed some of the episodes, such as the CAP theorem from a few years ago, but most of the episodes are not useful for an experienced engineer because they stay at the introductory level for the topic. The interviewers often have zero experience with the topic, so their questions are not helpful. It’s common for an interviewer to spend 2/3 of the show stumbling through the background to try to understand what the topic is. This may be useful for brand new developers, but it’s frustrating for experienced developers who really want to learn about a topic from an expert. Even in the best episodes, the interviewers miss important questions. The show could be 10x better with some new interviewers who ask better questions, and think more critically rather than letting the show be a marketing platform for the guest.
