A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

It feels like every time I find a podcast about security/networking/technology the hosts end up saying some pretty off-color stuff, or I look them up and they also host right wing podcasts. Are there any that are more leftist, hosted by LGBT peeps, or at least not actively bigoted ?

How is your Swiss German? I quite like SRF Digital, but it's likely completely incomprehensible.

Accidental Tech Podcast ATP

It’s Apple-centric if you don’t mind that and the hosts are super friendly.

Any podcast on the Relay FM network sounds like what you’re looking for!

The EFF's How to Fix the Internet is an interesting podcast which talks about various issues with the current landscape of the internet and potential ways to improve it.

Love the recommendations here! Would also like tech YouTube or general content creator recommendations too since a lot of them say some really sus shit that has nothing to do with tech. Recently unsubbed from one that outright made a blatantly sexist joke complete with visuals

2.5 Admins and any of the Jupiter Broadcasting podcasts seem fine.

ATP has a lot of Apple talk, but the hosts fit the bill you describe as I'm pretty sure they're all left of center. Not that politics come up a lot, but there certainly aren't any off-color jokes. ATP's John Siracusa hosts another podcast with Merlin Mann called Reconcilable Differences, and Merlin Mann hosts another I like called Back to Work, and they talk a lot about tech as well. Neither is a strictly tech podcast but I enjoy them all the same.

One could say that conservatives can be very passionate about their political beliefs. If you're listening to a podcast about technology, or any other topic for that matter, you might find it off-putting for the host to interject with their irrelevant beliefs. Obviously there are times when politics can be topical to the conversation. That usually revolves around legal cases and policy making.

I can't help you with a left-leaning podcast. But if you want an informative and politically neutral show, check out https://dailytechnewsshow.com/
