If you are a software developer earning even part of your living working with Microsoft .NET, or even if you just do it for fun, and you don't listen to DotNetRocks podcasts, start running, not walking, in the direction of DotNetRocks now!
Hosts Carl Franklin and Richard Campbell deliver highly professional, humorous and educational shows.
You can download from the site or, my preferred method, subscribe in iTunes.
A perfect complement to HanselMinutes
So, go check it out.
 
P.S. Note to self - Check out DNRTV from the same stable when I get some time.
 
Update 06/11/2007
Don't subscribe in the iTunes library itself - you'll only get the last twenty episodes. Rather, grab the RSS feed from the DotNetRocks site and then subscribe using the Advanced menu option in iTunes. That way you can see all the shows.
