Who says your private developer time has to be in the evening? I do my "extra" time, like book-writing and studying new stuff, first thing in the morning (after a little wake-up web surfing and exercise). Maybe that pushes off your "knackered" time to the last hour of your work day, but depending on your personal cycles, it might be something to try.
At different times in my life, I've worked day, evening, and overnight shifts, and I've found I really like jumping in at 5:30 AM when nobody else is up (well, except for Europe…) You mention you have a family. Did you find you got more ambitious and interested in maintaining your skills after having kids? I can't believe how much time I wasted back when I had so much of it. As for podcast listening, I'm doing a better job of keeping up with the Posse now that I've got 90 minutes of lawn mowing a week to keep up with.
