Discovered the @SoftSkillsEng podcast last week and started from the beginning. Their topics and discussions from 2016 are just as relevant and applicable today as then.

This podcast is funny and entertaining and a great source for learning about the non-technical things of being a Software Developer.
I really recommend it to all fellow engineers!
The (aptly titled) @SoftSkillsEng is great. @djsmith42 and @jamison_dance are hilarious. I often go back and visit the back catalog for inspiration.

@SoftSkillsEng podcast is a must-listen! It's certainly targeted towards software engineering, but the advice is pretty widely applicable, especially new/aspiring managers. All those #100devs folks ought to check it out!
