The hosts give advice to real problems sent in by listeners involving non-technical issues in the software engineering workplace, such as dealing with problematic co-workers, how best to develop your skills into seniority, how and when to negotiate a pay raise and how to prepare yourself for moving to another job.
I don't think every episode is extremely useful since a lot of the solutions for workplace related problems can be drilled down to "look for a new job and quit your old one", but the hosts are very charismatic and funny. And when they do give good advice it's always something I've kept in mind which has occassionally helped me in my own job.
For me, this is what makes the show. I normally don't like "conversational" podcasts, but this is my one exception. There are thousands of resources for this kind of thing that are better if you want information density, but Dave and Jamison's conversations are endlessly entertaining, and they are both extremely witty and charismatic.
I second this one. It's the only podcast on/adjacent to engineering that I regularly listen to (even Syntax.fm I'll dip in and out of). Good community, too.
