To piggyback on this, are there any technology podcasts worth listening to that aren’t just computer technology? Like a podcast that may cover new developments in materials technology or goes over technical aspects of jet engines or some such?

For web dev, I like "Syntax" with Wes Bos and Scott Tolinski
