I&#x27;ll be the weirdo and admit... I enjoy true crime podcasts.<p>But!!! But... I don&#x27;t like the mindless exploitative stuff (which is unfortunately 95% of it). I like the hard-cutting journalism stuff.<p>My favorite 3 are Swindled, Court Junkie (&#x27;Court&#x27;, not &#x27;Crime&#x27;), and In the Dark.<p>Swindled is a dry recounting of white-collar crimes. Funny and informative and kinda scary.<p>Court Junkie focuses not on the crimes, but on the court cases, and is 75% real audio from the courtroom, with additional narration by the host.<p>And In the Dark is maybe the most gut-wrenching of them all, especially season 2. This podcast uncovered evidence in a wrongful conviction that ended up going all the way to the supreme court. This one is true door-to-door journalism - literally knocking on the doors of homes in a small rural Mississippi town to ask what people remember about a crime from decades ago, and ultimately taking down a corrupt district attorney. Just amazing.

My anti-answer is that podcasts have been making me sad (cause they are usually just the news, for me), and I&#x27;ve been listening to my late 90&#x27;s late-teenager playlists on my commute to unspool my day, and force myself to remember nostalgic times and try to cope with everything. Basically using nostalgic music as a cheap drug.

On the technical side, I love CoRecursive, enjoy Soft Skills Engineering, and recently started listening to Latent Space, which I also like so far.

I keep track of Lex Fridman and Joe Rogan&#x27;s podcast releases and listen to em when the guest seems interesting.<p>I&#x27;ve listened to some episodes of Theories of Everything with Curt Jaimungal when he has interesting guests on. For example he recently did two podcasts with Joscha Bach who is always a really creative guy to hear from. Also learned about Machine Learning Street Talk because Joscha Bach was a guest on there and he was promoting his appearance.<p>Godbolt, the guy that made Compiler Explorer, also had a few podcast episodes which I enjoyed.<p>Someone already mentioned it, but Conversations with Tyler can be really good as well. He did a podcast with Paul Graham which HN readers might enjoy.

Tech: None really<p>Comedy: - L&#x27;apero du Captain (french, discussion about tech news and general news, and other less reputable things) - Deux heures de perdues (french, movies spoils with critics) - Las noches de Ortega (castellano, character impersonating and improbable stories) - My Dad Wrote a Porno (english, porn book spoil and critics)<p>Science: - Podcast Science (french, everything is in the name) - PlanetGeo (english, condensed lecture about geoscience topics) - ScienceDiction (english, links an actual word with an often suprising scientific stories) - Undiscovered (english, stories about scientific discoveries, how they happened and in which context. I think it is the best thing ever produced by human beings. But I may be partial)<p>History: - Culture 2000 (french, summary about a theme by four teachers who have tried to study it during the last two weeks) - Beyond Huaxia (english, history and cultural development of far-east asia with a strong accent of the territory that is today China)<p>News: - El hilo (spanish, south-american news) - Histoires du monde (french, locked-in on France Inter app, short summary of a world event)<p>Economy: - Planet Money&#x2F;The Indicator (english, general economy podcasts covering the news or an economic concept. The second is shorter and more nerdy) - Freakonomics (english, behavioral economy. The recent episodes are less interesting and consist more often in interviews of people linked with the political world. It is made by one of the author of the books of the same name)

- Seldon Crisis: I know the host Joel personally, and he&#x27;s such a great guy. The embodiment of software professionals being creatives.<p>- Volts by David Roberts: Interesting by itself, but makes me less pessimistic about the climate crisis. He talks to a lot of fascinating entrepreneurs, usually working with &quot;hardware&quot;, which as a software engineer always feels like magic to me.<p>- 13 Minutes to the Moon: Blew me away, and it&#x27;s relatively quick listen. It&#x27;s a detailed retelling of the moon landing with original audio.<p>- Dolly Parton&#x27;s America: Also a limited series. Goes into why Dolly Parton is such a cultural icon. Learned a lot about the US.<p>I&#x27;m professionally interested in podcasts since my company provides transcription services. We&#x27;re launching a free magazine of podcast transcripts. If you enjoy knowledge-dense podcasts, feel free to suggest your favorites for transcription: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;withfanfare.com&#x2F;podread&#x2F;" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;withfanfare.com&#x2F;podread&#x2F;</a>

Been listening to Hardcore History recently - very very intriguing. Also, am a fan of a new video podcast by Amit Varma &amp; Ajay Shah called [Everything is Everything](<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;@amitvarma&#x2F;featured">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;@amitvarma&#x2F;featured</a>). Note that latter can be a bit India-focussed at times.

A few tech and Python specific podcasts I&#x27;ve been listening to while I do dishes:<p>The Real Python Podcast Talk Python To Me Software Engineering Radio Maintainable

Accidental Tech Podcast: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;atp.fm" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;atp.fm</a>

It turns out too many of them are hosted on YouTube, so my listening habits will have to change.<p><pre><code> Hello Internet Cortex The Great Simplification with Nate Hagens The Amp Hour Podcast Beau of the Fifth Column Peter Zeihan The Business of Machining The Wee Scone Variety Show Dan Carlin&#x27;s Hardcore History Artificial Intelligence with Lex Fridman Dark Horse with Bret Weinstein The Portal with Eric Weinstein Joe Rogan (if he&#x27;s got a good guest) The Anthropocene Reviewed</code></pre>

Lost Terminal is wonderful as a story. The way things are revealed and the calm tones really elevate it. I don&#x27;t want to spoil anything I&#x27;d just very strongly recommend it.<p>Seems there&#x27;s text YouTube videos but it&#x27;s also a regular podcast.<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;lostterminal.com&#x2F;" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;lostterminal.com&#x2F;</a><p>It&#x27;s also short, 5 mins each I think for the first series and 10 for the later ones.

This Week in Google is my favourite podcast (they don&#x27;t talk too much about Google though, a recurring theme they mention in the show).<p>They have a great panel: a reporter from Wired, a journalism professor and author, a photographer (who is also the network community manager), Leo (who hosts the show) and a rotating set of guests.<p>I am interested in every show they produce.<p>This Week in Tech is also great, but I prefer the TWiG panel :)

I listen to the #osspodcast Open Source Security Podcast. It cured my baldness and also is a great additive to soups and milkshakes.<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;opensourcesecuritypodcast.com&#x2F;" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;opensourcesecuritypodcast.com&#x2F;</a><p>I was not paid to post this message. This is a totally organic high quality review!<p>Seriously though, I wasn&#x27;t paid, we do this for free.

For curious hacker types interested in aerospace, infrastructure, and the history of computing, I HIGHLY recommend Omega Tau Podcast . For computing nerds, check out, for example, Episode 248. For flight nerds, Episode 91, for infrastructure nerds, Episode 146.<p><a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;omegataupodcast.net&#x2F;" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;omegataupodcast.net&#x2F;</a>

A few I haven&#x27;t seen on the list, by looking at my recent listens. I&#x27;m not saying all of them are good, I&#x27;ll often listen to podcasts as background noise, so don&#x27;t take this as sanctioning or recommentations:<p>- Science Vs (science) - Freakonomics Radio (curiosities) - If Books Could Kill (politics I guess) - The Atlas Obscura Podcast (curiosities) - Robinson&#x27;s Podcast (philosophy of science) - Twenty Thousand Hertz (sound engineering) - Tiny Matters (science) - Unexplainable (curiosities) - Talk Python to Me (programming) - Decoder Ring (curiosities) - Ologies with Alie Ward (science, most of the time) - Sawbones (medical science) - Skeptoid (curiosities) - SciShow Tangents (science) - In Defense of Plants (... plants?) - You&#x27;re Wrong About (curiosities) - No Stupid Questions (psychology) - Hidden Brain (Psychology) - Radiolab (curiosities) - Overthink (philosophy) - Philosophize This! (Philosophy)<p>Plus a whole bunch of Brazilian Portuguese shows, too.

The best interviewer I&#x27;ve found is Peter Robinson for his Hoover Institution podcast &quot;Uncommon Knowledge.&quot; He&#x27;s got great guests and really elicits great answers. (He was a speechwriter for Reagan and the one that wrote his &quot;Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall&quot; speech.)<p>The best investing podcast I&#x27;ve found is &quot;The Week Ahead&quot; by Complete Intelligence. I look forward to it every weekend for its variety of guests and subjects.<p>Patrick O&#x27;Shaughnessy&#x27;s &quot;Invest Like the Best&quot; podcast has a good variety of guests and he asks incisive and insightful questions.<p>National Review&#x27;s &quot;The McCarthy Report&quot; has astute legal analysis from a former U.S. Attorney.<p>Institute for Justice&#x27;s mutli-season exploration of the 14th Amendment &quot;Bound by Oath&quot; is well-produced, outrage-inducing, and fascinating.<p>&quot;Breaking News&quot; is a new podcast by Ben Hunt (of Epsilon Theory fame) that explores the news&#x27; nudges and narratives.

What works for me best is not only to subscribe to a particular podcast but use &quot;search-based&quot; RSS feeds to track particular guests. On my Android phone &quot;Podcast Addict&quot; app can use search to create feeds based on keywords. So I put names of guests I found interesting and when they go to a new podcast it finds that episode.

For news, I like &quot;Today Explained&quot; by Vox Media. Episodes are about 25 minutes long. Each episode they dig into a single issue for the entire episode. Sometimes they will discuss some aspect of a hot button issue (there&#x27;s a few recent episodes on the Israel&#x2F;Palestine&#x2F;Hamas conflict), but sometimes they&#x27;ll talk about other interesting topics too. A couple of recent examples are the 50 year history of hip-hop, or how some healthcare services or moving into stores like Dollar General.<p>Another podcast I like a lot is Maintenance Phase. It&#x27;s basically about debunking ideas on health and nutrition. Has US-centric angle, it&#x27;s well-researched, the format is pretty loose and conversational, and the hosts are pretty fun. Probably a love it or hate it kind of podcast.

I listen to a few podcasts focused on US politics: David Pakman (has a finance background, very level-headed in his viewpoints): <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;davidpakman.com&#x2F;" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;davidpakman.com&#x2F;</a><p>I Doubt It: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;dollemore.com&#x2F;" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;dollemore.com&#x2F;</a><p>I also listen to non-politics stuff: Factually: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.adamconover.net&#x2F;" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.adamconover.net&#x2F;</a><p>Dumb Dad Podcast: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;podcasts.apple.com&#x2F;us&#x2F;podcast&#x2F;dumb-dad-podcast&#x2F;id1464774523" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;podcasts.apple.com&#x2F;us&#x2F;podcast&#x2F;dumb-dad-podcast&#x2F;id146...</a>

Monster Man[0] - Medieval studies professor does a gentle deconstruction of all the monster entries in the classic D&amp;D Monster Manuals.

Mine is scriptnotes: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;johnaugust.com&#x2F;scriptnotes" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;johnaugust.com&#x2F;scriptnotes</a><p>Two well-known scriptwriters (John August, behind e.g. Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and Craig Mazin, behind Chernobyl and The Last of Us (HBO)) discuss screenwriting and the movie industry. They have great guests as well - most recently Neil Gaiman for example.<p>They are very interesting to listen to, and give great insight into the different aspects of screenwriting. At the same time, it is different enough from tech where it does not feel like work, while I still learn fascinating stuff.

Well, some of those are in french, other in spanish and some in english: - L&#x27;apéro du Captain (french, comedy&#x2F;news) - 2 heures de perdues (french, comedy&#x2F;movies) - El hilo (spanish, latin american news) - Las noches de Ortega (spanish, character comedy) - Podcast Science (french, science) - My Dad Wrote a Porno (english, comedy) - Planet Money (english, economy) - Histoire du Monde (french, locked-in on France Inter application, news) - RadioLab (english, news&#x2F;investigation) - Freakonomics (english, news&#x2F;economy) - How I built This (english, company building) - Gastropod (english, food)

I only regularly listen to comedy podcasts.<p>- Threedom: Funny people Scott Aukerman, Lauren Lapkus, Paul F. Tompkins talk and play improv games<p>- Hey Riddle Riddle: Chicago improvisers Adal Rifai, Erin Keif, and JPC try to solve riddles and then do improv scenes tangentially related to them<p>- Doughboys: Funny people Nick Wiger and Mike Mitchell and usually a guest review chain restaurants in America<p>- Scott Hasn’t Seen: Comedan Shaun Diston and deranged human being Scott Aukerman and a guest watch and talk about one of the many movies Scott somehow has never seen.

I have found a new podcast to listen to - Paper Cuts. They summarise the UK newspapers each weekday at midday. I’ve listened for 2-3 weeks and love it.<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;podcasts.apple.com&#x2F;gb&#x2F;podcast&#x2F;paper-cuts&#x2F;id1689798044" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;podcasts.apple.com&#x2F;gb&#x2F;podcast&#x2F;paper-cuts&#x2F;id168979804...</a>

C-SPAN&#x27;s Bookshelf feed for long author interviews of new nonfiction books. I find this a good way to get the distilled essence of a book without the time commitment.<p>[1] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.c-span.org&#x2F;podcasts&#x2F;subpage&#x2F;?series=bookshelf" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.c-span.org&#x2F;podcasts&#x2F;subpage&#x2F;?series=bookshelf</a>

This might be a slightly more difficult question to answer, but instead of people listing the podcasts they like, I&#x27;d love to hear which podcast <i>episodes</i> in particular people would recommend?<p>Otherwise, as interesting as this thread is to read through, the amount of recommendations here is a bit overwhelming :P

here’s my playlist (6000+ episodes)<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.listennotes.com&#x2F;playlists&#x2F;wenbin-fangs-podcast-playlist-kr3-ta28cJu&#x2F;episodes&#x2F;" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.listennotes.com&#x2F;playlists&#x2F;wenbin-fangs-podcast-p...</a><p>focused on individual episodes, no podcast subscriptions.

Bankless is an Ethereum podcast. Below is an interesting episode.<p>120 - Marc Andreessen &amp; Chris Dixon of a16z | Reinventing the Internet <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=RXHITeaGB8Q">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=RXHITeaGB8Q</a>

If Books Could Kill<p>The Secret History of Western Esotericism<p>Astral Codex Ten(ty solenoid entity)<p>Stanford Psychology<p>Les Nuits De France Culture<p>I get enough tech here. These are for making me a more well-rounded individual. Note: I&#x27;d love to get an entire set of medschool lectures as a podcast - does this exist?

I love the podcast Lore by Aaron Mahnke. It is very pleasing and easy to listen to.<p>I also listen to American Scandal, Business Wars, and American History Tellers. The Wondery network has some really engaging content.

No longer active, but the archives of &quot;The dice tower&quot; gave me <i>lots</i> of joy back in the day (until they changed the format - around 2017, I guess - I liked the previous one better).

The Adventure Zone is my all time favorite podcast. 3 brothers and their dad playing DnD but they don’t take the rules as seriously as many other actual-play podcasts.<p>The Critshow is another great one.

AI or game dev stuff mostly:<p>- machine ethics podcast - future of life institute - infinite monkey cage - Lex Fridman - Designer notes - game makers noteboook - three moves ahead

timesuck by Dan Cummins<p>The absolute best for long format (2.5 hrs) breakdown of mystery, murder, history, comedy, and other amazing stories told by a wickedly intelligent host with a strong sense of comedic irony.

No Priors (AI&#x2F;VC) The Revenue Formula (RevOps) Saastr (SaaS) Twenty Minute VC (20VC) FT Tech Tonic<p>Looking for good ones about biotech &#x2F; immunology &#x2F; longevity.

A few I don&#x27;t think I&#x27;ve mentioned before:<p>Nuntii in Lingua Latina - headlines in Latin and the original languages<p>Cato Daily podcast - very high quality and in-depth discussion

Lex Fridman Huberman Podcast Stratechery My First Million All In Pod PG Essays The Knowledge Project Not Investment Advice The Tim Ferris Show

We&#x27;ve been listening to a lot of Hidden Brain lately.<p>If you&#x27;re in the PNW or interested in that area the Timber Wars series is a must listen.

My top three would have to be Empire, Conversations with Tyler, and Fresh Air (if the guest is interesting).

I&#x27;m listening to and enjoying the German Rugby podcast &quot;Die Eierköpfe - Der Rugby Podcast&quot;.

“Roderick on the Line” sounds like my friends sitting around and talking about everything imaginable.

I only really listen to Latent Space, really good pod on AI&#x2F;Gen AI&#x2F; AI Engineering.

General interest - my favorite is Very Bad Wizards. The two hosts are university professors in psychology and philosophy. They cover all kinds of different things - usually some piece of media like a book or movie, where they will sort of analyze it deeply and just generally chat about it. They&#x27;ll also often cover a silly or interesting philosophy or psychology paper as an opening segment.<p>They&#x27;re just fun to listen to. They hardly ever touch anything political which is very refreshing. For their Patreon supporters they have also been going episode-by-episode through Deadwood, which I watched because of their coverage and think is one of the greatest TV shows ever made. Their analysis of each episode really enhanced my experience of the series. (They just finished covering the second season, so one more to go).<p>I also enjoy Sam Harris&#x27;s podcast, been listening to him for years now. I don&#x27;t listen to every single one, but he has some pretty interesting guests sometimes. I like his general &quot;theme&quot; of being interested in the mind, meditation, psychedelics, and also just what&#x27;s going on in the world. Obviously gets much more political but not the exclusive focus of his pod.<p>Last, I like the Fifth Column a lot, which is an explicitly political podcast covering current events - they tend to lean a little more right than me but the overall bent of show is sorta centrist&#x2F;libertarian and I think they do a pretty good job of lambasting both sides of the aisle.<p>I listen to a few others at varying frequencies. One other standout I&#x27;d mention is Knifepoint Horror, which releases a 20-60 minute horror story about once a month. The guy behind it has a pretty unique and interesting approach to horror fiction and I can&#x27;t think of a single one I didn&#x27;t enjoy.

Specific to Ontario and, to a lesser extent, Canada: The Agenda with Steve Paikin.

Huberman Lab<p>Osterholm Update<p>TapeOp Podcast<p>The Canadian Bushcraft Podcast<p>The Working Songwriter<p>How to build a sustainable music career and collect all revenue streams

I enjoy Sharp Tech (Stratechery’s podcast), though unfortunately it’s mostly paywalled but has free episodes. It’s good for the business side of big tech and the two people on it, Ben Thompson and Andrew Sharp keep it pretty light and fun, which is nice because business stuff can be dry as hell.

The only podcast I make sure to keep up with is Making Sense with Sam Harris [0]<p>[0] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.samharris.org&#x2F;podcasts&#x2F;making-sense-episodes" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.samharris.org&#x2F;podcasts&#x2F;making-sense-episodes</a>

FT Daily Briefing.

Joe Rogan Experience is the best podcast that I listen to. It has a wide variety of guests and topics, from regular politics to Neil deGrasse Tyson to Elon Musk to Bernie Sanders to aliens to psychedelic drugs to anti-mRNA vaccines. Joe Rogan is also an excellent interviewer because he asks questions without an agenda.
