      Another vote for ShopTalk[1]. Also Jen Simmons' The Web Ahead[2] is fantastic, and gets into some higher-level trends and concepts in tech, art and design. For my Chris Coyier overdose, I tack on Codepen Radio[3]. On the UX and design side, I love The Dirt[4] and Hustle[5]. Finally, The Businessology Show[6] does a great job covering management and leadership (focused on the agency/service world).

      I've added Codepen's MIT License [0] to your name to credit you correctly at the right spot on our CSS. New build will be rolled out in a couple of hours so kindly check back again.

      If however you're still uncomfortable about us using this experiment without a coffee, do let me know and we'll remove it from Bubblin completely. Just kidding, we'll sponsor you a coffee as well ;-)

      Shop Talk Show http://shoptalkshow.com/

      Codepen Radio http://blog.codepen.io/radio/

      Software Engineering Radio is in my podcast software but I don't find myself listening to it much.

      I have a variety of others more oriented to productivity and freelancing, but they're less technical. I do highly recommend the Home Work podcast by Aaron Mahnke and Dave Caolo - one of the few I have set to auto download.

      Codepen recently published podcast episode [0], where they tell why they spitched from GitHub to GitLab. Built in CI solution was one of the reasons.
      If you don't want to listen the whole thing, there's also a transcript: [1]

      I know it's already too late, but recently CodePen announced their blogging platform [1] which is nicely integrated with their base service - sharing of code snippets.

      Apparently it's to prevent phishing. You should be able to click on "Edit on Codepen" to see it.
