Ask HN: Favorite podcasts?

• dethstar 12y ago
  I have not listened to it but http://www.thetalkingmachines.com/ http://www.thetalkingmachines.com/ is a podcast about machine learning. It was posted on HN some time ago.
  • Old_Thrashbarg 12y ago
    The Talking Machines is my favorite machine learning podcast. So far they've had interviews with many of the big names in ML: Yann LeCun, Goeff Hinton, Yoshua Bengio.
• icey 12y ago
  It's not especially programming or design related; but I was recently turned on to EconTalk (http://www.econtalk.org/ http://www.econtalk.org/) and it's been very enjoyable. Especially good talks were: * Nick Bostrom on Superintelligence: http://www.econtalk.org/archives/2014/12/nick_bostrom_on.html http://www.econtalk.org/archives/2014/12/nick_bostrom_on.htm... * Piketty on Inequality and Capital in the 21st Century: http://www.econtalk.org/archives/2014/09/thomas_piketty.html http://www.econtalk.org/archives/2014/09/thomas_piketty.html

  Developer Tea is a short, fresh and very interesting programming podcast: https://www.developertea.com/ https://www.developertea.com/ It's just a delight.
  • jordsmi 12y ago
    I've been a fan of these since he started them, but I often end up wishing they were longer.
    • hrayr 12y ago
      I feel the same, but I think the short form is a great feature. In fact, this format is inspiring me to start my own frequently published podcast (feels like something I can do, vs the longer formats)
• sboak 12y ago
  For Design topics, check out 99% Invisible (http://99percentinvisible.org/ http://99percentinvisible.org/) and Design Details (http://www.designdetails.fm/ http://www.designdetails.fm/). I feel silly mentioning This American Life (http://www.thisamericanlife.org/ http://www.thisamericanlife.org/) since it seems like everyone's heard of it, but the quality of the show is just so incredible I can't leave it out. There's the quality of TAL's storytelling and then there's everything else... Radiolab is also incredible (http://www.radiolab.org/ http://www.radiolab.org/) for more technical/scientific topics, but it's definitely not specific to engineering/software.
• Red_Tarsius 12y ago
  I can't recommend anything about programming/design, but I listen to Ask Altucher and The James Altucher Podcast. He interviews successful people – mostly entrepreneurs – from all walks of life. It's very interesting to hear all the past struggles and failures. James somehow makes the guests reveal the most intimate experiences. http://goo.gl/bJBMqN http://goo.gl/bJBMqN
• fredrikcarno 12y ago
  Not at all tech related, but I like to listen to The Unexplained podcast with the British radio profile Howard Hughes. It's a bit out there, but his voice, and his broadcast pedigree makes it very relaxing to listen to, at least for me. http://www.theunexplained.tv/ http://www.theunexplained.tv/ Have a great day Best Fredrik

  Invisibilia is new but sure to be a hit: http://www.npr.org/programs/invisibilia/ http://www.npr.org/programs/invisibilia/ Also Startup: http://gimletmedia.com/show/startup/ http://gimletmedia.com/show/startup/ Both dance around our world regularly enough to include them.
  • thebenedict 12y ago
    +1 for Startup. I listened to the last episode of season 1 this weekend -- the first half is the most honest discussion of entrepreneurship I've encountered.
    • rabidonrails 12y ago
      I really like Startup and I'm an avid listener. But, while Alex does a great job of trying to present an honest view of starting a company, I don't think his experiences translate to the everyday entrepreneur. Sure listening to his initial pitch to Chris Sacca is horrifying and hilarious, but eventually people just start throwing money at him. Everywhere he turns someone is trying to invest. I'm not saying this doesn't happen, but because of who he is the "money" side of things neatly works itself out for him. Again, I love the podcast and I think Alex is completely honest in it, but he never has to confront the issue of runway which is probably the most nerve-wracking part of being starting a company.
      • alcarter 12y ago
        I totally agree - it's not your representative founder story, and while I listened to all of it an enjoyed, I also got the distinct impression that a ton was omitted and or edited out. I guess this is to be expected with a high product podcast, but as it went on, I increasingly felt like large portions of the story were missing.
  • mbrownnyc 12y ago
    Very funny... I made it through two episodes of Invisibilia and couldn't figure out why it was pissing me off.

  I am a premium member of Mixergy. I forget about it for months and then remember again, listen to a random interview and almost always take away something valuable. I like Andrew Warners interview style. He is very kind and respectful but he is still good at asking questions until you get down to the details that actually matter.

  * Giant Robots | http://giantrobots.fm/ http://giantrobots.fm/ | weekly technical podcast discussing development, design, and the business of great products | ★★★★ * Kalzumeus Podcast | http://www.kalzumeus.com/category/podcasts/feed/ http://www.kalzumeus.com/category/podcasts/feed/ | infrequent show that is more focused on the business/marketing side of software products, hosted by @patio11 | ★★★½ * Ruby Rogues | http://devchat.tv/ruby-rogues/ http://devchat.tv/ruby-rogues/ | weekly panel discussion about programming (emphasis on Ruby) | ★★★ (can vary wildly based on topic/panel) * The Bike Shed | http://bikeshed.fm/ http://bikeshed.fm/ | biweekly show discussing thoughtbot's experiences in web development (Rails-heavy) | ★★★ * TechZing | http://techzinglive.com/ http://techzinglive.com/ | a "two people talking" genre podcast about programming, software business, general HN-like topics; a bit hard to approach but I've been listening for over 250 episodes so I'm fully dug in at this point | ★★★ Additionally I mix up all the technical podcasts with a couple others: Stop Podcasting Yourself (Canadian comedy podcast), Tim Ferriss Show (interviews with world-renowned experts), The Random Show (Tim Ferriss + Kevin Rose talking about random things that interest them), and Back to Work (Merlin Mann vehicle for talking about productivity/work-life balance). # Setup I use PocketCasts for Android (worth every penny) and a Griffin Technology BlueTrip AUX car adapter to listen to podcasts while driving. This replaces the radio/music for me when driving.

  Dan Carlin's Hardcore History. Here's a good starting point: http://dancarlin.com/product/hardcore-history-41-thors-angels/ http://dancarlin.com/product/hardcore-history-41-thors-angel...
  • zachberger 12y ago
    Also Dan Carlin's Common Sense: Independent commentary on modern events: http://dancarlin.com/common-sense-home-landing-page/ http://dancarlin.com/common-sense-home-landing-page/
  • wwweston 12y ago
    I've heard Carlin's podcast recommended several times, but latel I'm tired of history that primarily gives me a finished narrative, andam interested more in finding accounts where they spend a lot of time discussing sources (e.g., I'm less excited about hearing about Ben Franklin's life than I might be about the letters of Ben Franklin). How does Hardcore Hisotry stack up in this regard?
    • camikazeg 12y ago
      Hardcore History is all finished narrative. Where Dan Carlin really shines is taking facts from history, like body counts from ancient battles and making them visceral so that you can really feel how terrified people would have been if there city was being besieged by Mongols, or if you were a soldier in Stalin's army and were used as so much cannon fodder against the nazis. If you are more interested in the primary sources, he's probably not for you, but if you want to feel history rather than just hear about it, then I highly recommend.
    • anateus 12y ago
      Not a podcast, but I found many of the history courses on The Great Courses series (which is now available on Audible) are like what you desire. Not all of them are, but it's usually possible to tell based on the description.
• tannerbrockwell 12y ago

    Ctrl-F "Tropical", seconded. Although they don't have a huge tech focus, for anyone even remotely interested in either a.) bootstrapped businesses, or b.) travel --- it is the best podcast I know about. Turns out bootstrapping and travel are naturally synergistic. For bootstrapping you want to minimize burn rate. With travel, you can live (reasonably) comfortably somewhere like Thailand or Bali for 6 months to 1 year off of only ~1K per month as you get your new venture off the ground. After listening to this podcast for a year I've lived in Shenzhen, China, Ubud, Bali (Indonesia) and Taipei, Taiwan while doing remote Rails consulting to build up a warchest. So far its been the best experience of my life and I never would have done it without listening to this podcast to hear about all the other people who have done the same.

  * Planet Money - http://www.npr.org/blogs/money/ http://www.npr.org/blogs/money/ - mostly looks at quirky aspects of modern culture/society from an economics bent. It is very "light" economics, but the topics are usually interesting. * EconTalk - http://www.econtalk.org/ http://www.econtalk.org/ - Still pop-economics oriented, but definitely deeper than Planet Money. The people Russ interviews have changed my opinion on controversial issues many times. * Writing Excuses - http://www.writingexcuses.com/ http://www.writingexcuses.com/ - I don't currently write fiction and it is very low on my priority list, but hearing authors describe how they deal with all aspects of writing is interesting to me. They cover different kinds of plots, common plot/character issues, and plenty of meta topics about writing/publishing. * Behind the News with Doug Henwood - http://www.kpfa.org/all-programs/behind-news-doug-henwood http://www.kpfa.org/all-programs/behind-news-doug-henwood - The stuff that Doug thinks are important are usually not the things that I feel are important which is why I like listening to his shows. It's nice to hear different takes on the world. * Skeptic's Guide to the Universe - http://www.theskepticsguide.org/ http://www.theskepticsguide.org/ - I often listen to this for light half-zoned-out entertainment, but they often talk about science news/history that I wouldn't hear otherwise and are usually entertaining. * 99% Invisible - http://99percentinvisible.org/ http://99percentinvisible.org/ - I think of this as Planet Money for Design. It has introduced me to new ways of looking at cities. * Quirks and Quarks - http://www.cbc.ca/radio/quirks http://www.cbc.ca/radio/quirks - Probably my favorite Science news story podcast. I find it has less fluff than Science Friday. * Brain Science Podcast - http://brainsciencepodcast.com/ http://brainsciencepodcast.com/ - Has some interesting interviews with experts in the current understanding of the brain.

  Another vote for ShopTalk[1]. Also Jen Simmons' The Web Ahead[2] is fantastic, and gets into some higher-level trends and concepts in tech, art and design. For my Chris Coyier overdose, I tack on Codepen Radio[3]. On the UX and design side, I love The Dirt[4] and Hustle[5]. Finally, The Businessology Show[6] does a great job covering management and leadership (focused on the agency/service world).

  I submit that being a good designer (of software or hardware or 2d or 3d images) demands a well rounded education, a diverse set of interests, and a morbid sense of humor. To that end I submit these following podcasts to excite the weak connections in our brains: www.howstuffworks.com/podcasts/stuff-you-should-know.rss www.maximumfun.org/subscribe and bonus, the excellent but extinct Word Nerds podcast: http://thewordnerds.libsyn.com/ http://thewordnerds.libsyn.com/ (you might need to add/dL them one at a time)

• sandebert 12y ago
  Well, I listen to many podcasts already mentioned, but these two also deserve a strong recommendation: * Startups For the Rest of Us - "The podcast that helps developers be awesome at launching software products" - http://www.startupsfortherestofus.com/ http://www.startupsfortherestofus.com/ One episode per week, like clockwork. Typically ~30 minutes long. Actionable stuff. Whenever I get a new episode of this podcast it instantly goes to top of listening queue. Also, I listen to it 1x speed, because I don't want to miss anything. * This Developer's Life - "Stories About Developers and Their Lives" - http://thisdeveloperslife.com/ http://thisdeveloperslife.com/ One episode per forever, extremely uneven schedule. Typically ~60 minutes long or so. Sort of This American Life, but - as you already figured out - with the developer angle.
  • guiambros 12y ago
    +1 for This Developer's Life. I think it's one of the finest tech podcasts. Still sad that they stopped recording it last year, but for new listeners, it's still worth watching all old episodes.

You can also check out his books, explore his web site, and end up with a good idea of how to run your financial life yourself. This is especially good for those in their 20s - start now by putting away modest amounts and you'll be rich by the time you're my age. Also the "Video DownloadHelper" extension for FireFox will let you download these podcasts and others like them that don't offer a direct download option, so you're not stuck sitting there in real time.

    Hell yes. Risky Business has been my favorite new podcast discovery this year, and I can't believe it's actually been running for 7 years. It's really well presented, the segments flow well and are informative & entertaining. If you've currently got Security Now on your podcast playlist, definitely pick this one up. I think you'll feel like you've been shortchanging yourself all this time.

  Dan Carlin Hardcore History - Very long episodes covering history in detail. Dan is a very enjoyable story teller. Common Sense with Dan Carlin - Episodes covering recent events. The host is opinionated, but very interesting. Skeptic's Guide to the Universe - this podcast covers science, but mostly is about combating pseudoscience in society. The hosts can seem dismissive, but I agree with them, so I like it. EconTalk - I'd say some of these are a step above pop Econ. The variety and high stature (some Nobel laureates) of the guests is impressive. StarTalk - NGT, what else is there to say. I like the comedians he has on as cohosts too. Stuff You Missed In History Class - less in depth than hardcore history above, but also more easily consumed. How To Start a Startup - good advice on startups. This is one you listen to over and over again. Startup - this one doesn't have a lot of specific advice on starting a startup, but is interesting nonetheless. Lexicon Valley -Etymology of different a words and phrases. Good hosts. I Love Marketing - covers direct response marketing. The hosts can seem self serving, but the early episodes are very informative.

  Radiolab - I love the fast cuts and interesting sound design. Of course, the content is top notch too. This American Life - Probably the most popular podcast with a long history and an impressive track record of exciting stories. The Bike Shed - new Ruby/Rails-related podcast from thoughtbot, really like it. Pragmatic - in-depth coverage of certain technical topics. The Truth - fictional stories, very good writing, high production values. Feels like audio-only, high quality short films.

• joshdotsmith 12y ago
  We're launching a podcast next month about programming and technical topics for non-technical people: http://www.talkingcode.com/ http://www.talkingcode.com/ Our favorite interview so far (feels like picking your favorite kid!) has been with Sandi Metz, partly because it's so funny to me to have discussed object-oriented design for a non-technical audience. But she had some tremendous, actionable insights for people who want to know how software works without knowing how to write it. I'm hoping we can bridge the gap a little bit. Ideally, if a non-technical friend or colleague asked me – "hey, what is continuous deployment, anyway?" – I would point them here for an approachable 30,000 foot view. We have a lot of work to do to get there, though.

    An interesting concept but an uninspiring execution. Who are all those people in the catalog? There is no filtering by profession, interest, etc. Every picture has only a name label. Very helpful if you have no idea (or you're not sure) who the person is. A test search 'joel spolsky' (a celebrity that must be there) gave me this: No matches for 'joel spolsky' okay.
    • iisbum 12y ago
      Thanks for the feedback. This was the MVP of the site just launched a few weeks ago. At this point it's expected that your searching for people that you already know, hence the lack of detail for the person. I had trouble finding interviews with Joel, but I'll hunt some down.
• alcarter 12y ago
  I'm not as familiar with dev/design podcasts but I'll mention some that I've heard good things about; I think it would make a great Product Hunt board. More generally I think podcast discovery is a huge problem b/c 1.) most of us aren't aware of the good shows that exist, 2.) there's no easy way to share the best episodes, so we don't know which ones they are, and 3.) as listeners our interests are incredibly varied so subjective relevance is almost as important as quality. I'm going to share a list of shows that I've personally enjoyed or seem interesting. I'm also going to share some of my favorite episodes, because what's even more hard to identify than a good show are the very best episodes! #Full disclosure, I'm creating a social platform for discovering and sharing podcasts: http://www.knomad.com/ http://www.knomad.com/ #Side plug, https://www.audiosear.ch/ https://www.audiosear.ch/ is doing some cool things with podcast discovery and exposes searches against digitally transcribed audio from podcasts ------------------------------- [1.
