Ask HN: What podcasts do you watch regularly?

• dsuriano 16y ago
  5by5's shows: The Talk Show, Hypocritical, Build and Analyze. http://5by5.tv/ http://5by5.tv/
  • pstinnett 16y ago
    The Pipeline is another good 5by5.tv show. It's just interviews made by Dan Benjamin, different people each episode, but it's usually great!
  • SRSimko 16y ago
    Looks like they have a bunch of great shows I look forward to exploring.
  • swilliams 16y ago
    Back to Work (http://5by5.tv/b2w http://5by5.tv/b2w) is one of my favorites too. It's not tech-centric, but offers some fantastic insight into life outside of the text editor. And if you're lucky, Merlin might do a Dr. Phil impression.
  • jcstauffer 16y ago
    I think it's actually hypercritical, but I like your name better :)
  • bradleyland 16y ago
    5by5's shows are great live as well. They keep a backchannel open on IRC at #5by5 that has a fairly regular crew. Dan's an excellent host in that he's adept at skimming the backchannel for direction and relevant items.
  • andyford 16y ago
    For the OP (and HN readers in general), I recommend Founders Talk - http://5by5.tv/founderstalk http://5by5.tv/founderstalk. But make sure to check the list of all the shows - http://5by5.tv/broadcasts http://5by5.tv/broadcasts - lots of good ones.
  • sambeau 16y ago
    I realise that Gruber gets a load of bashing on HN of late. But I love The Talk Show. It hits just the right not of apple, tech, film and schoolboy sniggering. I especially like the schoolboy sniggering.
    • frou_dh 16y ago
      I like his site, but he has a lethargic demeanour on podcasts.
• nerdyworm 16y ago
  http://castcurator.com/ http://castcurator.com/ Mostly just the music stuff I listen to and a few recommendations that I got over the past few days. I will go ahead and add all the podcasts that pop up in this thread and create a HN feed for them.
• yan 16y ago
  I always keep up with: This American Life (thisamericanlife.org), Radiolab (radiolab.org), Planet Money (npr.org/blogs/money/) and The Brain Science Podcast (brainsciencepodcast.com). Others are more on a per-episode bases.
• jsm386 16y ago
  Hardcore History: http://www.dancarlin.com/disp.php/hh http://www.dancarlin.com/disp.php/hh - Best way to describe it is 'geeking' out on History. The host is a journalist - not a historian - but he does his research.
  • Dramatize 16y ago
    Thanks, I'll check it out.
• barapa 16y ago
  RadioLab from NPR in NYC. Interesting stories from a science perspective, with a very cool story-telling format. http://www.radiolab.org/ http://www.radiolab.org/
• harold 16y ago
  The Changelog, The Dev Show, Floss Weekly, Linux Outlaws, No Agenda, Startups for the Rest of Us
• zumbojo 16y ago
  37signals Podcast, This Developer's Life, Freakonomics Radio, Hanselminutes (in addition to several already mentioned by others).
• tomjen3 16y ago
  Hardcore History. It's a very good show about various fascinating topics in history, such as the fall of the Roman Republic, the war on the eastern front in WWII, Apache Culture and it's demise, etc. It's obviously very far from startups, but I think every curious hacker would be interested and there is such a huge break between the episodes that it doesn't take too much time to follow it. You can download the episodes here [http://www.dancarlin.com/disp.php?page=hharchive http://www.dancarlin.com/disp.php?page=hharchive]. If you don't know where to start either try show 32 since it is a self contained episode or shows 27 through 30 if you have more time (and the stomach).
• joeguilmette 16y ago
  I listen to 'Stuff You Should Know' by Chuck and Josh at HowStuffWorks.com. The topic is usually very interesting and the hosts are very entertaining. While it is usually very well researched, I like that it is light enough that I don't have to pay attention to every sentence. Who Charted and Doug Loves Movies are pretty good 'brain off' entertainment as well. And I've listened to Planet Money and This American Life for years and years and years.
• joeyblake 16y ago
  I listen to: http://thechangelog.com/ http://thechangelog.com/ and a lot of the 5by5 stuff
• kirpekar 16y ago
  The Moth Podcast
• jhonnycano 16y ago

• swanson 16y ago
  I try out a few new podcasts every quarter. The three that have stuck (in order of enjoyment): TechZing, Changelog, Founders Talk http://techzinglive.com/ http://techzinglive.com/ http://thechangelog.com/ http://thechangelog.com/ http://5by5.tv/founderstalk http://5by5.tv/founderstalk
• stuartjmoore 16y ago
  For something a little different, my choice for non-Hacker Newsesque podcast would have to be Comedy Death Ray Radio (http://www.earwolf.com/show/comedy-death-ray-radio-scott-aukerman http://www.earwolf.com/show/comedy-death-ray-radio-scott-auk...). The single funniest thing I've ever heard.
• zdw 16y ago
  http://packetpushers.net/ http://packetpushers.net/ It's a networking podcast mainly focused on high end datacenter stuff, but also they have a wireless specific podcast periodically. If you're into hardware and systems engineering, it's quite interesting. They also get a lot of vendors on and really grill them.
• stevenp 16y ago
  For politics with some humor injected, I like to keep up with the Majority Report (majority.fm), and the Stephanie Miller Show (stephaniemiller.com). I also regularly keep up with the Slate Political and Pop Culture "Gabfest" podcasts, although they can be a bit dry and elitist at times. For pure entertainment, I like Marc Maron's WTF podcast, and The Moth is also great if you like shows like "This American Life" but can't always commit to a whole hour.
• daimyoyo 16y ago
  TWiT, This week in iPad, TWiST, Kevin Pollaks chat show, and Kevin Rose's podcast(not Digg Nation, the other one).
• russjhammond 16y ago
  WTF w/ Marc Maron - he is a comedian that has been around forever, though I had never heard of him but interviews other comedians every week. The best episodes so far are the ones with Carlos Mencia, Robin Williams and Louis CK. Also - Monocle Weekly - These are the guys that make Monocle magazine.
• mikecarlucci 16y ago
  For any baseball people, from more of a stats angle, both Up and In: The Baseball Prospectus Podcast and FanGraphs Audio are pretty good.
• closedbracket 16y ago
  HPR, Peter Day's World of Business, New Yorker Comment, Changelog, Onion Radio News, Front Page, Read'n'Code (had to plug this)
• staunch 16y ago
  The History of Rome. http://thehistoryofrome.typepad.com/ http://thehistoryofrome.typepad.com/ "A weekly podcast tracing the history of the Roman Empire, beginning with Aeneas's arrival in Italy and ending (someday) with the exile of Romulus Augustulus, last Emperor of the Western Roman Empire."

  Astronomy Cast -- They have a pretty big show archive that has aged very well. In Our Time, a BBC radio podcast focusing on history. PBS Frontline (a tv show, not a podcast) streams all their shows online. Great for current events. The Economist Audio Edition requires subscription to magazine, but if you want to catch up on the entire world in a couple of hours, this is the way to go.
• seanc 16y ago
  Many good podcasts at the CBC! (Canadian Broadcasting Corporation): Dispatches: Former international correspondent Rick MacInnes-Rae talks to his international correspondent friends - http://www.cbc.ca/dispatches/ http://www.cbc.ca/dispatches/ Ideas: One hour lectures and discussions with people who think deep thoughts about a wide variety of topics - http://www.cbc.ca/ideas/ http://www.cbc.ca/ideas/

• AndrewWarner 16y ago
  Sal Kahn's programs rock. I listen to them in the background on my iPhone, instead of watching.
• gnosis 16y ago
  Radiolab and Erik Davis' Expanding Mind. More recently I've started to listen to Magic Newswire.
• Dramatize 16y ago
  Mixergy, TWiST, TWiVC, Radiolab & 5by5 podcasts.
• mcrider 16y ago
  Just checked out startups for the rest of us from harold's recommendation.. Looks good. Anyone have any other good recommendations about startup podcasts? Other than This week in startups--I can't stand Calacanis. Also, I recommend Too Much Information (http://tmipodcast.com/ http://tmipodcast.com/) -- Interesting topics and wry humor, its a good listen.
• fsainz 16y ago
  The Skeptics' Guide to the Universe it's pretty good, they promote critical thinking with humor and they give some nice insights into the mechanisms we usually use to judge information.
• craigdeakin 16y ago
  I've recently stumbled across http://www.founderly.com/ http://www.founderly.com/ which seems like a great project.
• popyourmovie 16y ago
  http://www.smodcast.com/ http://www.smodcast.com/ This is Kevin Smith's podcast it is great, he really goes into his mindset about getting the audience involved in his films and how in a way he is trying to hack the Hollywood film system.
