PaulDotCom Security Weekly is a weekly podcast hosted by a group of network penetration testers and SANS instructors that covers some of the tactics and tools that attackers use as well as news and information for how sysadmins can protect their systems.

Mind of Root is a weekly podcast that covers more of the general sysadmin topics.

Radio Free Security is a monthly podcast from WatchGuard (they make security appliances). They have a lot of good insight on security and protecting your network.

For you Windows folks out there:

IT Idiots

They don't do much system administration type podcasts anymore, but there is a fairly extensive archive with good Windows video podcasts.

It's self promotion, so sorry about that, but I thought I'd let you know about the podcast that Brandon Burton and I just launched, called SysAdministrivia

http://www.sysadministrivia.com

It'll be on iTunes shortly, but until it is, please download it and check it out!

Buzz Out Loud

It is not exactly system administrator material, but it gives a good overview about what's going on in the world of technology.

  • I listen to Buzz Out Loud, but I find much of their news to be consumerism gossip tech news, and less cutting edge IT news.

Hak5 bills itself as a TV show about hacking. They cover a lot of weird stuff like installing linux on gameboys, but at the end of the day they do a lot of hands-on tutorials with networking software and server hardware. The sysadmin-relevant parts of the show are a bit Windows heavy sometimes but they also have lots of Linux coverage and use it often in their projects.

Since no-one else has mentioned it: linux outlaws It's more of a light hearted podcast (think lug radio, but new, improved, and even better) but there's surprisingly good content in the shows.
