javascript jabber, I don't always listen so much to the language specifics but the ideas. I enjoy it. There is also Ruby Rogues which is pretty good too.

Startup Related (I don't listen to all of their episodes, but I do listen to several from): - Tim Ferriss Show - This Week in Startups - Geek's Guide to the Galaxy - A16Z Podcast - Harvard Business Review - Entrepreneurial Thought Leaders - Foundation Non-Tech: - Serial (it's over but really interesting) - Undisclosed (the successor to Serial)

First and foremost, dancarlin.com for both his political and history podcasts. If you have not heard any of his history podcasts, please give it a listen. Next would be Marc Maron at wtfpod.com and the occassional Kevin Smith smodcast. Really liking the new Fraiser podcast he is doing with Matt Mira Dead Robot Society and Narrative Breakdown, because I do a lot of writing And of course my podcast I do with 2 friends on writing and technology, typehammer.com Yes, there are no programming podcasts listed. I guessed that is what you may have been looking for, and if so, sorry.

  Seconded Dan Carlin's Hardcore History. It is awesome. He is an amazing storyteller and makes history come to life in a way that is fascinating and very approachable. I've walked many, many miles with Dan Carlin in my ear.

Honestly? For those who want to sort of "escape" the stranglehold of the media elite and do something weird: Alex Jones is great. http://www.infowars.com/stream.pls http://www.infowars.com/stream.pls (11AM-2PM CST) - He comes from Austin, TX and is sort of an icon around town :) Another one I love is Coast to Coast FM: https://www.iheart.com/show/Coast-To-Coast/ https://www.iheart.com/show/Coast-To-Coast/ - They talk about paranormal / UFO's / Ghosts.

Scott Johnson's "The Morning Stream", "Film Sack", "Current Geek" and whatever else he puts out. He and his co-hosts are very cheerful. They are more about positive emotions than the substance. It really makes my life better and me not as grumpy.

for those of you who like history and can understand spanish, I really like "ser historia con nacho ares" its always got interesting subject matter and is really well put together. http://www.nachoares.com/seccion/ser-historia/ http://www.nachoares.com/seccion/ser-historia/ For literature, I like BBC 4 Open Book, its a pretty good way for me to find new books and authors to read: http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p02nrsfl/episodes/downloads http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p02nrsfl/episodes/downloads Another one thats short and sweet for language enthusiast is "sozusagen!" auf BR2. (German though) http://www.br.de/radio/bayern2/kultur/sozusagen/sozusagen112.html http://www.br.de/radio/bayern2/kultur/sozusagen/sozusagen112....

1. Song Exploder: Hrishikesh Hirway interviews composers. In the interview they talk about the process of how one of their songs were created. One of my favorites: https://soundcloud.com/hrishihirway/song-exploder-no-24-tycho https://soundcloud.com/hrishihirway/song-exploder-no-24-tych... Another one of my favorites: https://soundcloud.com/hrishihirway/songexploder-no-8-loren https://soundcloud.com/hrishihirway/songexploder-no-8-loren 2. Radiolab: This one gets you thinking. I feel like sometimes they will oversimplify very complicated concepts though. One of my favorites: http://www.radiolab.org/story/worth/ http://www.radiolab.org/story/worth/ (This one is really long. It's like a three in one. Usually they are like 30 minutes long). 3. Let My People Think: This one is a thinker too. 4. Here and Now: Basically the news. 5. NPR All Songs Considered: (I don't listen to this very much) They have guest DJ's, and new music (I'm not much of a fan some of the music they put up). They also have special episodes, which are more interesting. One of my favs: http://www.npr.org/sections/allsongs/2015/05/19/406500138/the-songs-that-make-us-cry http://www.npr.org/sections/allsongs/2015/05/19/406500138/th... 6. NPR Pop Culture Happy Hour: (I don't listen to this very much) They talk about new movies, shows, books, and songs. Here is an episode I like from this podcasts (I haven't had the chance to explore the other episodes though): http://www.radiodiaries.org/new-podcast-strange-fruit-voices-of-a-lynching/ http://www.radiodiaries.org/new-podcast-strange-fruit-voices...
