Level up your testing skills anywhere.
Finding quality software testing podcasts can be tough, and generally by the time that I find one that I like, the creator stops making the show. (Rest in peace Let’s Talk About Test, Baby)
I’ve wrote about testing podcasts in the past, but here’s a roundup of five current testing or quality assurance related podcasts for 2022.

4. The Ministry of Testing Dojo Podcast by the Ministry of Testing
Ministry of Testing provides the Tester’s Island Dojo Podcast. They have multiple podcasts niches, and all of them are worth your time. They publish new episodes multiple times a week, with episodes ranging from 30 minutes to an hour.
A pretty big downside of the Ministy of Testing podcasts, is that they aren’t clearly labeled, and lack descriptions. So it’s not as easy to scroll through their list of episodes to find an episode that you’re interested in.
Recent episode topics include:
- Plenty of interviews with testing professionals
- Specifics for testing for startups
- Testing trends in the industry
