What's in your podcast rotation right now?

Curious what everyone is listening to for podcasts these days, whether it be technical or not. ~~I've been listening to Joe Rogan lately. They're long, but he has interesting guests from all walks of life. Maybe not everyone's cup of tea, but I've been enjoying his podcast.~~ Update 2020: I had only listened to a few of his podcast episodes but did not realize in other episodes that I had not listened to, they were causing harm and danger to folks. So definitely off my podcast list.

I also recently discovered the Script & Style podcast with Todd Gardner and David Walsh. Not sure why this one hadn't already popped up on my radar.

So what are you folks all listening to these days?

Wow! That is a lot of hours I'm betting

Joe Zack • Apr 13 '19

Heh yeah, I don't even want to know how many - I'm also a platinum subscriber on Audible. :O

I listen at 1.5x-2x speed with the silence cut out, and I also skip a lot of the interview-y podcasts - unless I really care, or have never heard about the subject.

Darknet diaries is 100% my favorite podcast. Not dev-related per se, for me its more like a "relax and listen to the story" kinda thing. 10/10 would recommend!

Ken Bellows • Apr 11 '19

☝️☝️ YES!! Best non-tech podcast I've found in a long time!

Irma Mesa • Apr 16 '19

I launched a site called onepodcast.xyz that will send out 1 episode, 1x week! It gets a little crazy finding new podcasts sometimes, by signing up to the newsletter you'll get a new episode delivered weekly with no work.

onePodcast will allow folks to discover podcasts on a weekly basis from small to large creators.

Sounds cool. I'll definitely sign up. 👍

A few tech podcasts I'm enjoying lately:

Function, "a podcast about how technology is shaping culture and communications" hosted by Anil Dash of Glitch. First season is over but I'm hoping it comes back.
Greater Than Code, "the human side of software development and technology" from diverse perspectives.
Shop Talk, mostly about front-end development, with Dave Rupert and Chris Coyier.

There are a lot of others I tune into if I'm interested in the topic of the week.

Outside of tech, Totes Recall is my favorite funny podcast about kind of remembering movies.

Sirclesam • Apr 11 '19

Rogan has been great for long drives, makes the miles fly by. The only complaint is he will often go down a UFC rabbit hole talking about things that I can't find interesting, but the good outweighs everything.

I just finished "Worm: Audiobook Project" that is distributed as a podcast: audioworm.rein-online.org/ Cool story about superpower in the real world. Kind of like Heros but where people can say fuck.

If you're on android, podcast addict can be easily set up to skip the intro/outro that every episode has.

Joe Rogan (and his podcast) very directly resulted in one of my best friends getting death threats for months, so I recoil every time I see him on any suggested list. Here's what I've been listening to:

Tights and Fights, aka the perfect wrestling podcast. I love wrestling and they are so, so funny.
To Live and Die in LA - a true crime podcast about a girl who goes missing, no surprise. It's a deep dive into this one crime, and the twists just keep coming.

Harry Dennen • Apr 15 '19

That is unfortunate and I hope none of them materialized. I wouldn't rule Joe's podcast out completely though. Some of his guests are really engaging and informative when they get to his long form casual platform, and you get a full picture of them that you can't get through the normal mediums.

Desi • Apr 15 '19

Thanks but honestly if I'm interested in any of his guests I'll find a way to get information that doesn't reward his toxicity with my clicks or listens.
