List of Software Testing Podcasts
TLDR; There are a lot of Software Testing Podcasts. Use this comprehensive list as your startingpoint.
Podcasts Overview
There are almost too many Software Testing Podcasts out there. But, I try to keep up to date with industry trends and podcasts are a good way to do that.
I’m only including podcasts that are released on audio and are subscribable with audio podcast software. Some of these have video as well, which I view as a bonus.
I’m not including any podcast which is generated by AI. Some individuals and companies are releasing audio files generated by Google NotebookLM but I don’t consider that a good Marketings strategy, nor a good use of your listening time. I haven’t included any podcast generated obviously through AI.
I have included some podcasts that are dormant - they usually have useful archive content and occasionally start up again so I see no harm in subscribing to them.
Studying Strategies
I might be listening to podcasts while travelling or walking so they might not always get my full attention.
I usually check the show notes and follow relevant links.
I’ve added notes about which podcasts have transcripts, and which have youtube videos as well. Often I’ll visit the official episode page on the podcast website and read the transcript to gain additional information.
If there is no official transcript I might use the transcript generated by YouTube to quickly scan the content. To see the transcript expand the description on YouTube and right at the bottom is a link to view the transcript/subtitles for the video.
Tools like NotebookLM can also help by summarising content of YouTube videos and audio files.
Subscription Tools
I use Podcast Addict (on Android) to listen to podcasts. Most of these will also be available through Spotify.
I’ve linked to the main podcast web page. From which you should be able to find the subscription details.
If you struggle then I’ve found that a combination of two search engines helps me.
If the podcast home page lists the Apple Podcast URL then I use the following site to find the main RSS feed:
And to search for podcasts I’ll use something like castos:
