Excellent On The Metal podcast; Jonathan Blow makes the point that Unix/shell has no type safety.

On The Metal
As a part of starting Oxide Computer Company, Bryan Cantrill and Jess Frazelle decided to also create the podcast that they always wanted. Joined frequently by their boss, Steve Tuck, Bryan and Jess interview incredible guests retelling stories of adventure at the hardware/software interface. It’s unapologetically technical and as Jess says, “the nerdiest podcast on the face of the planet” -- but if you're their kind of nerd, you'll find yourself hanging on every word!

The Jeff Rothschild interview has an interesting career and some hilarious problems; the Kenneth Finnegan episode is an amazing listen.

The On the Metal podcast had absolutely magical interviews, purely for the folklore aspects I'd highlight the Jeff Rothschild and Tom Lyon episodes.

An incredibly fun deep dive into technical issues, told by the people who lived them, like software DRAM drivers and Ring -1 security.

If you don't listen to their On the Metal podcast, you're missing out. So many great stories from legends in the industry.
