July 21, 20187 yr I like to break up my work day by listening to some podcasts as music gets old after a period of time. My usual go-tos are "Radical Personal Finance" and "The Order of Man" on Spotify. Do y'all have any recommendations on some good podcasts?

May 19, 20205 yr https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/daddy-speaks/id1418960261?i=1000474931396 say what you want about Dave Portnoy, and/or how ridiculous this podcast was, it was the biggest female podcast in the industry. Dave explains the falling out, which turned into a pretty big story that the NY Post did a story on. Very interesting listen, even though most would have no interest in the actual podcast. It’s a pretty funny story. He does a great job of telling the story IMO. Edited May 19, 20205 yr by youdunnf'dup
May 19, 20205 yr Also, for what it’s worth, these are the girls. Alex Cooper: https://www.instagram.com/alexandracooper/ Sofia Franklyn: https://www.instagram.com/sofiafranklyn/
May 19, 20205 yr joe rogan - for when he has scientists and other interesting guests on. the comedian-friends type episodes is zzzzzz bro-chat. tim ferris - only when he has good guests on, same as above. otherwise this dude sounds like he sniffs his own fart - just nauseatingly insufferable. carmudgeon show (jason camissa) - very very good if you like cars. dave chang show - if you like chef/food talk, its enjoyable. jj reddick - very chill. almost strange to hear how "normal" and identifiable some of the athletes are. cyclingtips podcast - good if youre into cycling infinite monkey cage (brian greene) - good fun llighthearted take on science. a bunch of odd bloomberg ones like Bloomberg P&L, Bloomberg Gameplan, Bloomberg Intelligence, Bloomberg Businessweek.... they publish 100s of podcasts and its a bit confusing Onto the podcasts to ignore. Most of these mickey-mouse ones like NPR's Planet Money, The Indicator, How I Built This, From Scratch... absolutely inane reader's digest type dialogue. Stuff You Should Know and other like-ones sound exactly like 2 dudes basically sharing what they read from wikipedia. Turrible.
September 14, 20205 yr I've lately been listening to Topic Lords -- the only place on the internet where topics are discussed. Partially for the nerd humor, but mostly because the most recent episode, "Santa Barbarella," features a very interesting guest: Me.
September 23, 20205 yr Dan Carlin has recently been putting out some good stuff - just put out episode IV of Supernova in the East (WWII from Japan's perspective, starting with the rise of imperial Japan) and his most recent episode of Common Sense does a good job of looking at current going-on through a historian's lens
February 9, 20214 yr I just listened to “The Orange Tree” about the 2005 West Campus murder of Jennifer Caves. It was done by two UT journalism students. Pretty good, mostly because it’s a crazy true crime story. Also made me feel old because the hosts sound like kids.
February 9, 20214 yr During the Majors, I like to listen to THE TENNIS PODCAST. (You'll never guess what it's about.) This evening I listened to the SURLY podcast while knocking out 6+ miles, but I have to say that when I listen to a podcast, I want it to stick to the subject at hand. I go off on enough tangents just trying to tell a story myself, I don't want a podcast to do it as well. I occasionally listen to: -(THE?) COLLEGE FOOTBALL DAILY (when I think that there is something worth listening for) -TOTAL SOCCER SHOW (before/after USMNT matches) -AROUND NFL (before my Fantasy Football draft)
February 9, 20214 yr Never been into podcasts before, but recently gave it a try when I saw one that looked good. This Is Important - it’s basically the guys from Workaholics shooting the shit together for an hour. Probably 25 episodes so far and counting. I think it reminds me of back when you could hang out with friends in normal times which is why I’m enjoying it so much.
February 21, 20214 yr I have too damn many in my rotation. - Conan O'Brien Needs a Friend - The Czabecast - Making Sense with Sam Harris - Republicans Defeating Trump (The Lincoln Project) - Smartless (Jason Bateman, Sean Hayes, Wil Arnett) - War Room (James Carville, Al Hunt) - The Daily (NY Times) - Up First (NPR) - Today in Focus (The Guardian) - SurlyHorns - Yahoo Sports College (Pat Forde, Dan Wetzel)
April 8, 20214 yr I'm thinking of starting a podcast with me and a famous Mormon family. Mostly comedy, some politics. Could be a hoot.
April 8, 20214 yr Houston We Have a Podcast - it’s a NASA podcast about human space flight. Pretty good if you’re into that sort of thing.
April 25, 20214 yr Jim Brockmire Podcast is pretty good -- I never saw the series so can't tell if it's overdoing the joke, but I've enjoyed the first two episodes.
April 25, 20214 yr 13 Minutes to the Moon dropped a second season on Apollo 13 last year. It's every bit as good as Season 1. I strongly recommend it.
March 22, 20241 yr What app does everyone use for podcasts? I've been using Google Podcast for the past couple of years and have loved it, but that is going away at the end of the month. Google is hoping to funnel everyone toward YouTube Music, but I'd like something that automatically downloads new episodes and hides episodes after they've been listened to. I can't stand seeing 735 episodes sitting there and having to try and remember if I've already listened to them.

Plus, I don't want to fuck with my Youtube Music algorithm, which I have dialed in right now.
March 22, 20241 yr I use BeyondPod. It takes a little getting used to, but it'll do everything you need and it's a fairly clean interface.
March 22, 20241 yr CastBox is my go to. Easy interface. Can remove those I've already listened to. The Rest Is History is a great podcasts.
March 22, 20241 yr I'm still on Podcast Addict (Android) which works for me. Lately: The Jeff Gerstmann Show, Brad & Will Made a Tech Pod, & Nextlander: I'm not a huge video game guy, but I really enjoy listening to these three podcasts as they're full of old school video game journalists who are in their mid to late 40s now and have similar opinions on life that I do which makes for a good time. Jeff is also a hilarious person in general in that he fills 3hours a week talking to himself about video games. Jeff is also ranking every single NES game on Twitch/Youtube on Friday nights which is fun. Pod Save America - It is election season after all and I like these dudes. The Gilded Age and Progressive Era - Trade podcast for the Society of Historians of the Gilded Age and Progressive Era. It deals a lot in pop history so anyone can listen, but it does get in the weeds sometimes. Edited March 22, 20241 yr by SimonBolivar

I can't stand seeing 735 episodes sitting there and having to try and remember if I've already listened to them. Spotify has been my go-to for the past couple years. I started out with the free version of Spotify, but it quickly proved it's worth to me. I have Spotify on my Garmin Watch for runs without the phone, on the phone, on the computer, and on the Google (Nest) Speakers. Other than a stray music video or two on YouTube, Spotify is now the source of 99% of my music and 100% of my podcasts. My latest podcast binge kick is science based exercise shows: RP Strength Barbell Medicine The Drive Stronger by Science More Plates More Dates
March 22, 20241 yr All-In with Chamath, Jason, Sacks & Friedberg Latent Space: The AI Engineer Podcast Working Code (Shout out to my boy Ben Nadel--we collab'd in the past) Peter Schiff (because I enjoy Fed rants) JRE Hidden Forces with Demetri (paid sub)

It's where Patrick Klepek and the ex Vice Waypoint gang went. And if you're a Star Wars nerd, definitely check out A More Civilized Age
