When Swift was newer, there was a bunch of podcasts about it - in early episodes of Fireside Swift the existence of a Swift Podcast Network is often mentioned, but now it’s more of an established language there’s a bit less current content to listen to, and what there is, is less focused on learning Swift and more about what’s happening in the community.

Being firmly in the camp of needing to learn more about the language, I’ve listen to a number of older podcasts, or even current ones (such as Fireside) but their older episodes. It is sort of an odd experience traveling on several slightly out of sync timelines, but quite a joy to see what happens to predictions - like the occasion when Paul Hudson predicts that an “Xcode lite” on iPad is unlikely to be able to write apps until a more swift like framework for developing interfaces exists.

One of the iOS development podcasts in my current rotation is “Swift Over Coffee”, it’s blurb is:

Swift over Coffee is a podcast that helps you keep your Swift skills up to date the easy way, hosted by Paul Hudson and Erica Sadun. Each episode has news, our picks of the week, plus an open ballot where you can share your views on important topics.

And that is about how it goes. In Season One, it’s actually Paul and Sean Allen at the mic, they chat about news and topics related to Swift and iOS development, and each week there’s a Twitter question that people have chipped in on and the hosts go over these different views in some detail.
