Lex is great. Eurodollar University has been a great way to get some alternative insight into the shadow banking system and how the central banks of the world are mostly working on an entirely outdated idea of how the world works that hasn't been accurate since the 50s or so (and explains why so much of what they're doing on a regular basis fails so badly).
Around the Empire has mostly been quite good for following some geopolitical goings on -- the host is somewhat left leaning and anti-war, so be warned if your political sensibilities will be ruffled.
I also enjoy Gold, Goats, and Guns, but if you're big on masks and/or mRNA vaccines this one likely will offend. Same with Geopolitics and Empire, who admittedly brings on plenty of guests he doesn't himself agree with, so some episodes are better than others.
Other than that, I just catch a bunch of Bloomberg, Motley Fool, and a blend of mainstream news just to keep things rounded out.
On another note though, if your workouts are on a treadmill or elliptical or otherwise prone to being in front of a TV, I've recently started auditing a class on Coursera, and have found it to be a great way to work out my body and mind all at the same time. I'm auditing The Economics of Money and Banking from Columbia University, taught by Perry Mehrling at the moment, and it's done wonders to fill in a lot of gaps in my understanding having learned most of what I know about the monetary system piecemeal rather than methodically in the past.
