Favorite podcast episodes: April 2026 edition

I have been an avid podcast listener for more than a decade. When I began listening, the podcast world was small: I was subscribing to a handful of indie podcasts focusing on technology, journalism, nonsense and everything in between. Episodes were released occasionally and it was easy to keep up with the shows. Today, podcasts are everywhere, and it’s much harder to keep up. The Favorite Podcast Episodes series is an attempt to recommend episodes actually worth listening to.

TL;DR

DHH on PE

Conversations with David Heinerman Hanson (DHH) are always worth listening to. In this episode on the Pragmatic Engineer’s (PE) podcast, DHH talks about his journey agentic engineering journey.

Mitchell Hashimoto on PE

Another feature from the PE podcast with Mitchel Hashimoto about the history of Hashicorp, the attitude of major cloud providers, how he uses AI and Ghostty.

Building Claude Code

An interview with the core developer of Claude Code - especially interesting because of the recent Claude Code leak.

Last Invention: Wetware

Another episode from the excellent Last Invention podcast on biological computers.

Monty

Samuel Colvin discusses Monty, a Python interpreter for AI agents written in Rust.
