Ask HN: What podcasts are you listening to?
What are your favorite tech and non-tech podcasts?
- bradcomp 11y agoI have been listening to Partially Derivative and Talking Machines, both data science related. Talking Machines is more industry focused whereas Partially Derivative is more fun. Also Reply All, a show about the Internet. Non tech I listen to the History of Philosophy podcast.

- bashinator 11y agoHaven't seen these mentioned yet: - Escape Pod (SF short stories) - Risky Business (hilariously sarcastic infosec news and interviews) - Savage Lovecast (sex and relationship from "America's only advice columnist") - Intelligence Squared (Oxford-style debates on current topics)
- kleer001 11y agoNot hating, long time fan, real long time... But have you noticed a downward drop in quality from the Escape Pod family of casts? I mean it's free, so I'm not complaining, but it makes it hard to listen to.
- bashinator 11y agoTheir narrators? Yeah, it's possible - there have been a few stories in the past year that were just unlistenable due to either poor recording quality or just a terrible voice. On the other hand, when Steve Eley read everything, that wasn't great either.

- abhgh 11y agoI just (try to) follow one now - Talking Machines. They have great content on ML, esp contemporary work. Each episode leads to enough followup on the material that I don't have much time to follow another podcast :)
- jhamar 11y agoThe Ashish Walia Show . . . . Great podcast for people interested in building startups!
- b3b0p 11y agoGiant Bombcast and Giant Beastcast 8-4 Play Retronauts Back in my Play Pop Culture Happy Hour I have many others, but these are the ones I look forward to week after week. I listen to podcasts to take a break and relax, so I typically don't listen to tech related or focused podcasts.

- justhw 11y agoI use Pocket Casts on android to listen. Highly recommended. Ordered by how often I listen. Marketplace Planetmoney RadioLab This American Life Startups for the Rest of Us Reply All, (Statup S1 & S2) Occasionally other public radio podcasts
- rayalez 11y agoHarmontown - a podcast by the creator of the brilliant tv shows Community and Rick and Morty. I'm not sure it will make sense on it's own, but if you really love Community, think that Dan is a genius, and want to understand how he thinks - it's awesome. Also very funny.
- Rotten194 11y agoThe History of Rome - actually completed, relistening to the republic / early imperial parts. It's amazing. Well worth the 40 or so hours. Really can't give it enough credit. Romulus to Augustus to Romulus Augustulus in absolutely loving detail, Revolutions - Mike Duncan's (creator of THoR) new project. He's just finishing up the French Revolution, already covered the English Civil War and American Revolution. Preparing to go on hiatus to research the Haitan Revolution. The History of Byzantium - Picks up in 476 where THoR left off. Currently in the eighth century with the Byzantines recovering from the Muslim conquests a bit. Different guy, but still very good. 12 Byzantine Rulers - Finished this one, it's a very short series but gives a nice overview of Byzantine history. Much less in depth than THoB. Norman Centuries - Second project by the 12BR creator, similar concept but covering the Normans. Incredibly interesting, covers the Norman conquests of England, southern Italy, their attacks on the Byzantines, and their crusader state holdings The History of Britain - finished / inactive, it's pretty good, but never really hit its stride. /r/AskHistorians podcast - Have only listened to a few episodes. Great content, but I'm not personally a fan of the format. My list to start is The History of the Crusades, Hardcore History, History of English, History of England, The Lesser Bonapartes, and the BBC inquiry podcast. Hard to find time!
- hassiktir 11y agoIs there stuff like this for more 'modern' events? These suggestions are great and I like stuff like HH but was wondering if there was anything that covered like 1920's events or cold war or something in that same period (up until maybe 80-90's or so?)
- vasco 11y agoThank you for this list! I'm reaching the end of THoR and it's indeed amazing. I find his style very relaxing, and while walking to/from work its great company.
- dpeck 11y agoBump History of English to the top of you "to start" pile, it is fantastic. Highly recommend to anyone with even a passing interesting in history/linguistics.
- tefo-mohapi 11y ago(I'm biased on this one) But if you're looking to catch up on African Tech & Startup news check out AfricanTechRoundUp.com (Comes out weekly. SoundCloud and iTunes).
