Ask HN: Which podcasts do you listen to/watch?
Can be related to either technology or entrepreneurship. An example would be TWiST.
- ing33k 12y agoFound this one very recently . Podcast on PHP, Software Design and Testing, by @mathiasverraes and @everzet https://soundcloud.com/elephantintheroom-io https://soundcloud.com/elephantintheroom-io
- calvin_c 12y agoBig favorite is Star Talk with Neil deGrasse Tyson, but for some reason of all the Podcasts I listen to the ads on that one seem to pull me out of the conversation the most.
- JamesBaxter 12y agoI like Developing Perspective. It's about iOS Development and occasionally useful tips about running a small business. http://developingperspective.com/ http://developingperspective.com/

- ThomPete 12y agoFor design related stuff I really only think Iterate has value http://www.imore.com/iterate http://www.imore.com/iterate For startup related stuff a number of podcasts comes to mind. "Startups for the rest of us" http://www.startupsfortherestofus.com/ http://www.startupsfortherestofus.com/ Probably still most valuable podcast about bootstrapping I have ever listened too. "Entrepreneurial Thought Leaders" From Stanford Often has some very interesting speakers. "From Scratch" http://www.fromscratchradio.org/show/ http://www.fromscratchradio.org/show/ Really good podcast about a wide variety of entrepreneurs (From etzy to atari, Thomas Keller, the guy who made Highline in Manhatten a reality etc) very inspiring. "New Books in Big Ideas" http://newbooksinbigideas.com/ http://newbooksinbigideas.com/ Sometimes really good but far between the gold nuggets. What I haven't been able to find is a good podcast about Game design and good podcasts about Bitcoin/CryptoCurrency. Most stuff in those two areas is either unbearable to listen to or filled with buzzwords. If any has any indicator about the last two that would be greatly appreciated.

I can read way faster than people can talk, and I hate not being able to skip around. http://www.startupsfortherestofus.com/ http://www.startupsfortherestofus.com/ has lots of good information for people bootstrapping and has a reasonable, if not perfect transcript.

- zimbu668 12y agoDan Carlin's Hardcore History(http://www.dancarlin.com/disp.php/hh http://www.dancarlin.com/disp.php/hh) My favorite so far was the 13 hour series on the decline of the Roman republic. The parallels with current American politics were haunting.

- sentenza 12y agoSecurity Now with Steve Gibson and Leo Laporte http://twit.tv/sn http://twit.tv/sn Freakshow (German, but best tech podcast I've found so far) http://freakshow.fm/ http://freakshow.fm/ FLOSS Weekly http://twit.tv/show/floss-weekly http://twit.tv/show/floss-weekly Logbuch: Netzpolitik (also German, but best Internet policy podcast I've found so far) http://logbuch-netzpolitik.de/ http://logbuch-netzpolitik.de/ Of course I listen to many more non-tech related podcasts. What I noticed just now after going through my feed reader, is that I seem to be listening to about as many German ones as English ones, even though the total number of English podcasts out there should be higher. The only reason I can think of is that (for whatever reason) German podcasters seem to concern themselves more with audio quality. For instance, I just can't listen to TWiST or the kalzumeus podcast, because the audio hurts my ears (at least with headphones on, car is a different matter). There are a bunch of English podcasts that I stopped listening to because of audio quality issues, while I can't remember a single German one for which this was the case. Curious.
- blazingswrd 12y agoRene Ritchie's vector is always a great listen. It goes beyond the usual rumors and leaks that most tech websites like engadget or gizmodo put and describes the choices of why this technology exists. http://www.imore.com/vector http://www.imore.com/vector

- bliker 12y agoOhh finally something for me You are not so smart - Very nice podcast about cognitive biases, psychology and so on. (Last episode I heard was about dangers of alternative medicine) 99 Percent Invisible - About design of everything. From architecture to industrial design. (Last episode was about fire escapes and their history) Radiolab - Quite varied but always amazingly produced stories about science (Last one was about brain stimulation using electricity) Freakonomics - Great podcast about economics, amazing life advice. (Last one was about how to "Make you garden weed itself") Hello Internet - Two dudes talking genre. Brady (Numberphile and more) and CGP Gray. (Last one was about flags of states of USA, ugh Maryland) Pragmatic - Also two dudes. But on topic of engineering. (Last was about programming in military) I also recommend http://www.shiftyjelly.com/pocketcasts http://www.shiftyjelly.com/pocketcasts for listening. Really great app.

- shrikant 12y agoI'm loving the suggestions. I compiled a list of the podcasts I listen to in a series of posts here: http://tech.theswamp.in/blog/categories/podcast/ http://tech.theswamp.in/blog/categories/podcast/ For people who don't want to click through, or just want the list: ----- 1. NEWS & ANALYSIS a. BBC Analysis b. BBC Any Questions & Any Answers c. Freakonomics Radio d. KCRW's Left, Right & Center e. NPR Series Weekends on All Things Considered f. BBC A Point Of View (Started listening to this since after I wrote the post) g. NPR Pop Culture Happy Hour (Started listening to this since after I wrote the post) 2. QUIZZES a. Do The Right Thing b. BBC Friday Night Comedy - The News Quiz c. International Waters d. NPR’s Wait Wait…Don’t Tell Me! e. NPR’s Ask Me Another 3. GENERAL ENTERTAINMENT a. BBC 7 Day Sunday# b. Answer Me This! c. BBC Friday Night Comedy - The Now Show d. Ian Collins Wants A Word e. BBC Mark Kermode & Simon Mayo’s Film Reviews f. BBC Newsjack g. BBC Confessions h. The Bugle 4. SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY a. BBC Let’s Talk About Tech b. BBC The Infinite Monkey Cage c. Radiolab ----- This may seem like a lot, but not all of them run throughout the year, and some of them only do a few shows a year. I hope you find this useful! Tangentially, I've noticed that the highest quality podcasts come from publicly funded outlets like the BBC and NPR.
- NortySpock 12y agoOmega Tau -- "Science and Engineering in your headphones" -- technically oriented interviews with scientists (often physicists), engineers and technical workers by a German software engineer, in both English and German.

- simmons 12y ago* Software Engineering Radio. This podcast has great guests and isn't afraid to cover quite technical topics. Although, I think it has a bias towards enterprise software development, which isn't one of my major interests. http://www.se-radio.net/ http://www.se-radio.net/ * BBC's Infinite Monkey Cage. Each installment of this lighthearted show is a panel discussion among various scientists and comedians about a particular topic. http://www.bbc.co.uk/podcasts/series/timc http://www.bbc.co.uk/podcasts/series/timc * The Command Line. A one-man podcast about technology issues. http://thecommandline.net/ http://thecommandline.net/ I'm always on the lookout for any good podcasts covering hard technical topics or items of interest to the HN crowd, although they seem to be hard to come by.
