Non right-wing tech podcasts? (beehaw.org)

It feels like every time I find a podcast about security/networking/technology the hosts end up saying some pretty off-color stuff, or I look them up and they also host right wing podcasts. Are there any that are more leftist, hosted by LGBT peeps, or at least not actively bigoted ?

When Noah was on some of the Jupiter Broadcasting podcasts, he had a number of right-wing editorialized viewpoints during discussions. Chris didn't seem to bite much on them (at least, at the time), so I'm guessing Chris didn't care for it much (speculating here). I stopped listening simply because of off-handed comments I'd hear Noah make. It didn't happen that often, but it was enough to put me off listening. I honestly suspect Noah is more center than right-wing, but I'd much rather he just kept on topic and checked his political leanings at the door.

Now that it's Chris and other hosts, Linux Action News and Linux Unplugged might be good ones to check out, if you're into Linux.

Yeah I think it was just Noah. Chris hosted a news podcast for a while that treaded into some conspiracy areas, but wasn't right-wing.

Either way I find their current setup pretty good at staying away from politics unless they're directly related to the technology conversation at hand.
