Adding a couple more to the list:
mmm i listen in spanish some podcast, the only channel its not about tech are Posta FM
All The President's Lawyers, on kcrw.com, which I started listening to because Ken White (the legal mind of the show) blogged about the Prenda Law conspiracy which fascinated me.
I'm surprised no-one has yet mentioned No Such Thing As A Fish, the Quite Interesting podcast. 🐠
I love everything from Gimlet media
I listened to the first episode and really enjoyed it! 🙂
So I asked the same on twitter and got some really good recommendations. I thought of sharing them here as well!
The variation in this thread and these replies are super fascinating. Definitely covers a really broad spectrum of interests.
Yes! There's something for everyone in here.
I got introduced to so many good podcasts. 😁
Any podcast that has to do with storytelling, traveling, and adventures. My absolute favorite is the Passing Through Podcast by Nneka Julia.
I love a good storytelling podcast! 🙂
Very interesting!
Top Four sounds fun! 🙂
It’s a good one!
The only one I like that hasn't faded away into disrepair is 99% Invisible.
Can you elaborate? I don’t follow any podcasts closely enough to track quality over time. I’d love to hear more about why some of them fade.
Well there are a lot which have no set goals, like "we'll talk about X technology" and after a few episodes they seem to run out of things to say and have no clear way forward, so the show just becomes a general chat about less and less related tech as time goes on.
Other ones just stop being made because the people involved realise they have other commitments and move on.
The last podcast I really enjoyed was following the episodes of a TV show. There were 52 episodes and they were doing one every other week, but they got farther and farther apart until it was months, and then years between episodes, and they only got about half way through. They just carried on as if nothing was wrong in every new episode, and I suppose it doesn't matter to people who find their content after the fact, but if you're on the same journey with them, it feels like you've wasted your time.
Jocko Podcast by Jocko Willink & Start Today by Chris Cavallini.
Smarty Pants sounds amazing. Thanks for sharing!
I have the book Radical Candor, haven't had a chance to read it yet. Is this podcast inspired by the book?
Great list! Master of Scale is definitely a great show.
Will check out the rest. Thanks for sharing 🙂
