🎙 Curated podcasts for designers, developers, product managers, entrepreneurs and hustlers
A curated list of podcasts for designers, developers, product managers, entrepreneurs, startups etc.
Due to the nature of podcasts, it is difficult to cleanly classify them into different categories. Most podcast cover a wide range of topics and it blurs the boundries between topics. This is a very broad categorization and there is bound to be some overlap between categories. For example - You may find a podcast in the design category which also talks about lifestyle and business. Incase you disagree with the categorization and feel that a certain podcasts would be a better fit in a different category, please feel free to open an issue here. Pull requests are most welcome.
To include a podcast, please add to to the bottom of the podcasts.json file. Detailed instructions coming soon
