Best web design podcasts, Fall 2012

These are my favorite audio podcasts about web design and development, both the technical and business sides. They also feature topics such as marketing and freelancing.

My last post on the best web design podcasts was from June 2012, so it was time to update the list. I’ve listed them roughly in order of preference, and included the description from each podcast’s site or iTunes page. I like practical shows that talk about tips and tricks better than those that are mostly news and interviews.

If you like these, you should read my other posts about podcasts. I’m always looking for more, so please add your favorites in the comments!
