16 pointsby superfreshover 12 years ago
I'm thinking of getting into a few more podcasts in the new year. What were some of your favorites in 2012?

Seconding Planet Money (<a href="http://www.npr.org/blogs/money/" rel="nofollow">http://www.npr.org/blogs/money/</a>), in fact the whole Marketplace team is pretty stellar (<a href="http://www.marketplace.org/marketplace-podcasts" rel="nofollow">http://www.marketplace.org/marketplace-podcasts</a>)<p>TWIT is always pretty fun as well (<a href="http://twit.tv/show/this-week-in-tech/" rel="nofollow">http://twit.tv/show/this-week-in-tech/</a>)<p>Smithsonian puts out an interesting presentation every so often too (<a href="http://www.si.edu/podcasts/" rel="nofollow">http://www.si.edu/podcasts/</a>)<p>Granted these are all great podcasts, but they've been around and entertaining way before 2012.

I was listening to Mohammed Abshaun's videlog [1] most often this year. It helped me a lot in getting stuff done and kept me motivated to work on my startup. I also like Mixergy, but I guess everybody here knows about it.<p>[1] <a href="http://www.youtube.com/user/mohammedabshaun/videos?view=0" rel="nofollow">http://www.youtube.com/user/mohammedabshaun/videos?view=0</a>

It's not technical, the only podcast I listen to is: WTF with Marc Maron - <a href="http://www.wtfpod.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.wtfpod.com/</a> - he's a comedian who usually interviews comedians and they can go pretty deep sometimes

The Industry, by Adam Stacoviak, Jared Erondu, and Drew Wilson.<p>Great group of folks talking about design-focused startups and a lot of cool front-end tech.
