- kohanz 7y agoReply All & Startups for the Rest of Us are a couple of my favorites.
- notoriousarun 7y agoStartups for the Rest of Us :: One of the longest running podcast. A must-listen for every one building a software company without venture capital. *(https://www.producthunt.com/posts/startups-for-the-rest-of-us https://www.producthunt.com/posts/startups-for-the-rest-of-u...)
- rocketpastsix 7y agoI was a huge fan of "The History of Rome" by Mike Duncan and loved his new series "Revolutions". If you like history, these are both fantastic. Huge caveat: He got his start with "The History of Rome" so it takes him a while to warm up and relax. The first 25 or so episodes are a little more "here is the story as we know it" where as after that he adds some humor and it becomes the story of Rome instead of a list of facts. Other ones I have enjoyed: Listen Money Matters - a great no nonsense podcast about personal finance. It is a great jumping off point. They talk about all kinds of topics related to personal finance so you won't get bored. The Finance Independence Podcast - This is not as regular as other podcasts but I feel the interviews on this one are a lot more engaging and thought provoking. How I Built This - Fun show about how CEOs and founders came up with the idea that took them to the moon. Its little self congratulatory but also fun to hear the stories.
- olmideso 7y agoThe Artificial Intelligence podcast by Lex Fridman. It's mostly focused on science tech and philosophy with a lot of high-profile guests from different fields.
- arnold_palmur 7y agoI just listed to the Stephen Wolfram episode - gotta say, I had some preconceptions about Stephen but I loved their discussion.
- a3n 7y agoMarc Maron's WTF, interviews of really interesting people. NYT The Daily, really good interviews on current topics, by a really annoying interviewer. Le Show, Harry Shearer. Some people here will like his skepticism of IoT (and some people here will not). Radiolab. Science Weekly, The Guardian. Hidden Brain. Freakonomics Radio. Marketplace.
- anmolparashar 7y agoI'm a founder of a startup[1] that works in the podcasting space and my personal favorites are TigerBelly, Exchange Invest Weekly, JRE, The Indie Hackers podcast! [1] useCastup.com
- notoriousarun 7y agoWhat are some of your favorite startups in the podcasting space and why?
- smeeth 7y agoIntelligence Matters: foreign affairs podcast hosted by former #2 at the CIA. He’s a pretty good interviewer and I’ve learned a ton about how our govt perceives global threats. Pivot: Kara Swisher and Scott Galloway talk (mostly tech) business. It’s excellent and Scott is really fun. Hacks on tap: former chief obama campaign strategist David Axelrod and republican campaign consultant Mike Murphy talk politics for an hour. They know their stuff.
- notoriousarun 7y agoI haven't listened the podcast. *Intelligence Matters: foreign affairs podcast hosted by former #2 at the CIA. He’s a pretty good interviewer and I’ve learned a ton about how our govt perceives global threats.* But, I think the understanding of cognitive bias and complex systems are very important to mitigate any global risk. ** The governments don't understand these topics. ** https://intelligence.org/files/CognitiveBiases.pdf https://intelligence.org/files/CognitiveBiases.pdf, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Complex_system https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Complex_system
- DrNuke 7y agoThe youtube channel from Vinheteiro the brazilian pianist!?!
- hvass 7y agoThe Tim Ferriss Show The Portal Stratechery’s podcast (Exponent) Tyler Cowen’s podcast
- notoriousarun 7y agoThanks, I was unaware of the fact that Stratechery’s maintains a podcast option. Moreover, conversations with Tyler seem a great addition to my list.
- omosubi 7y ago+1 for conversations with Tyler, no matter your opinions on his politics, he's one of the best interviewers out there.
- toomuchtodo 7y agoAPM Marketplace NPR Planet Money Armchair Expert by Dax Shepard Joe Rogan Experience
- andreicek 7y agoSnacks Daily - The best podcast so far about finacial news. They comment on all industries that move the market - being milk and dairy to banks and tech. Short but very fun! New York Times The Daily The Wall Street Journal & Gimlet Financial Times Banking Weekly
- notoriousarun 7y agoThanks, I just listened to an episode after your reference. A way to get smart faster. Snacks Daily - The best podcast so far about financial news. They comment on all industries that move the market - being milk and dairy to banks and tech. Short but very fun!
- atRonan 7y agoMy Favourites are The Fighter & the Kid -Comedy, Enjoy the Vue - Anything Vue.js related, Baz & Andrew House of Rugby - Irish Rugby / Comedy, No Such thing as a fish - Comedy.
- ukyrgf 7y agoI find a lot of my creative balance gets refilled by listening to improv comedy podcasts on Earwolf and Headgum networks. Earwolf in particular has been in the game for over a decade, they took production quality very serious early on, and managed to spinoff into an ad network that got bought out by a huge media conglomerate while still keeping their shows pretty niche. improv4humans and Teacher's Lounge are two shows that just put me in a completely different mental space than I am typically in, and that makes a huge difference when I'm switching gears on a coding project or trying to start making a new design for marketing.
- jdpedrie 7y agoEconTalk. Many different subjects viewed through the lens of economics. Generally free market outlook but incredibly thoughtful and always interesting guests. The History of Byzantium. Follows Mike Duncan’s The History Of Rome and carries the story on in the eastern empire. Hardcore History The Editors. If anyone is looking for the steel man (as opposed to straw man) version of the conservative perspective on the news of the day, this podcast from National Review fits the bill.
- notoriousarun 7y ago+1 Russell Roberts(*EconTalk).
- goose847 7y agoMy favorite podcast is No Dumb Questions. It has Destin from Smarter Every Day and his friend Matt Whitman (from the YouTube channel “Ten Minute Bible Hour”) They do really awesome episodes on History or aspects of history that they’re interested in. The best one of these imo is ‘Siege Warfare’ episode. Other than that they talk about books and friendship. It’s a fun podcast.
- godelmachine 7y ago1) The Archers (BBC) - to improve English 2) Reluctant Persuaders (BBC) - Comedy 3) EastEnders - just started 4) Intelligence Matters 5) Software Engineering Daily
- laurieg 6y agoI'm curious as to why you chose The Archers to learn English. For those who don't know, The Archers is a long running radio soap opera in a rural setting and featuring lots of aspects of rural life.
- godelmachine 6y agoThere's a YouTube channel called "English with Lucy" She suggested listening to The Archers daily for 12 min can improve listening skills
- vrk7bp 7y agoLooks like Business Wars by Wondery hasn’t been mentioned here yet, but I’ve become a fan of late.
- notoriousarun 7y ago+1 for Business Wars By Wondery, great podcast.
- credit_guy 7y agoDan Carlin’s Hardcore History.

- notoriousarun 7y ago+1 for soft skills engineering.
- DanBC 7y agoInside the Ethics Committee BBC Radio 4. Not many episodes, and getting quite old now, but still an interesting look at medical ethics and UK law. https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b007xbtd https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b007xbtd There's a bunch of audio comedy that I love, but it comes and goes -- BBC Radio 4 don't keep it up on their website. (Party, Tim Key's Late Night Poetry Programme, John Finnemore's Souvenir Programme, Cabin Pressure, Bleak Expectations, Don't Start -- most of these are available to buy or from other sources). They've also put this page up and some of these look interesting: https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/articles/5Jrn1bynjTc6tPj3SVlpJkF/eight-dramas-to-escape-with?xtor=CS8-1000-[Discovery_Cards]-[Multi_Site]-[SL10]-[PS_PROGRAMMES~N~~A_8DramasToEscapeWith] https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/articles/5Jrn1bynjTc6tPj3SV...

- AussieCoder 6y agoExponent, a weekly podcast covering a topic from Stratechery, Ben Thompson and James Allworth on business and technology strategy. Friday Night Comedy from the BBC. If you like satirical comedy and an English sense of humour then The News Quiz and The Now Show are the best there is. The Art of Product , Build Your SaaS and Out of Beta are great if following along as people build bootstrapped start-ups is your thing. Startups for the Rest of Us is the OG bootstrapped start-up podcast. Planet Money and The Indicator, both from PBS, cover business, economics and society and make it interesting. Flash Forward, by Rose Eveleth, a trip to a possible future then a walk through how we get there.
- notoriousarun 6y ago+1 For Flash Forward, by Rose Eveleth
- chaorace 6y agoQuick correction, Planet Money / The Indicator are a product of NPR, as opposed to PBS.
- gnusty_gnurc 6y agoEconTalk and The Fifth Column.
