These are the one's I listen regularly to. 1.) Manager-tools - For management. No fluff and actionable info. 2.) Stanford Entrepreneurship thought leaders - For Startups 3.) 99% invisible - For design 4.) Ted Talks - For knowing brilliant people 5.) Security Now - IT Security

99% Invisible. http://99percentinvisible.org/ http://99percentinvisible.org/ Design and architecture oriented. 5by5 - http://5by5.tv/ http://5by5.tv/ - A lot of these shows are good, but I like Quit, as well as In Beta with Gina Trapani.

I like these small business/bootstrapping podcasts: Kalzumeus, Product People, Techzing, Foolish Adventure, Eventual Millionaire. I also like these speculative fiction podcasts: Escape Pod for scifi, Podcastle for fantasy, and Drabblecast for a little of everything.

  On the non-tech side, give caustic soda a shot. The guys are hilarious and it's amazing fun.

I'm personally a fan of Adam Savage's Still Untitled [1] and The Amp Hour [2] [1] http://www.tested.com/still-untitled-the-adam-savage-project http://www.tested.com/still-untitled-the-adam-savage-project [2] http://www.theamphour.com http://www.theamphour.com

Startups for the Rest of Us (Rob Walling and Mike Taber, largely targeted at people who are pre-product on SaaS), Tropical MBA (eclectic small/Internet business topics), Boostrapped with Kids (two guys with bootstrapped startups), Bootstrapped.fm (two other guys with bootstrapped startups), and a few others, but those are more than enough to match my coffee/gym time these days.

  Another podcast in a similar vein is Our Own Little Accelerator http://www.ourownlittleaccelerator.com/ http://www.ourownlittleaccelerator.com/

  If someone else tries to search for these in the Podcast app, "Bootstrapped.fm" is just "Bootstrapped" on there and the search fails to find it using the complete name/domain.

I've been listening to EconTalk with Russ Roberts[1], The KunstlerCast [2] and Poetry Magazine podcast [3] for years. Good stuff. It'll put hair on yer chest.

The Slate Political Gabfest is by far the best current events podcast I've come across: http://www.slate.com/articles/podcasts/gabfest.html http://www.slate.com/articles/podcasts/gabfest.html My favorite comedy podcast is Judge John Hodgman: http://www.maximumfun.org/shows/judge-john-hodgman http://www.maximumfun.org/shows/judge-john-hodgman and I similarly recommend anything else from the Maximum Fun Network: http://www.maximumfun.org/ http://www.maximumfun.org/

  I love the Slate Political Gabfest. I attended a live show in Chicago, and it was great fun; I strongly encourage anyone who likes the show (and/or who is interested in politics) to attend. Two other great podcasts, for those interested in US politics, are The Political Scene (from the New Yorker, http://www.newyorker.com/online/blogs/newsdesk/podcasts/ http://www.newyorker.com/online/blogs/newsdesk/podcasts/), and Ken Rudin's "Political Junkie," done by a funny former NPR reporter and analyist (http://kenrudinpolitics.com/ http://kenrudinpolitics.com/).

Accidental Tech Podcast atp.fm In Beta http://5by5.tv/inbeta http://5by5.tv/inbeta
- raelshark 13y ago
  Unfortunately on yesterday's episode Gina and Kevin announced that next week will be their last In Beta, and someone else is taking over the show. Curious who it'll be, but definitely won't be the same.

Techzing http://techzinglive.com/ http://techzinglive.com/ No Agenda http://www.noagendashow.com/ http://www.noagendashow.com/ TWiT http://twit.tv/ http://twit.tv/ I am selective about it though, Windows Weekly, some of the Floss weekly, some of Security Now and TWiT itself only if Dvorak, Calacanis or Adam Curry are on (sadly 2 of them appear to have been blacklisted). Startups for the rest of us http://www.startupsfortherestofus.com/ http://www.startupsfortherestofus.com/ Sans Podcast https://isc.sans.edu/podcast.html https://isc.sans.edu/podcast.html I used to listen to http://mixergy.com/ http://mixergy.com/ quite a lot but Andrew is an animal and I couldn't keep up.
