description: 250 Podcasts I enjoy listening to
date: 2020-02-02
I recently switched from iPhone to Android (Edit from the future: post here!) and had to port my podcast subscriptions from Overcast. I figured I would categorize and post commentary here for those who may be interested.
You are welcome to ping me for detailed thoughts on each of these, I didnt have time to write them down.
Evergreen Podcasts that are still worth going back through for (including Seasonal/Dead podcasts). This is a high compliment from me, although other categories also include podcasts I also LOVE.
Dolly Parton's America (rss, url) - I never grew up with Dolly and this fills a hole. One-season run.
A Very Fatal Murder (rss) - HILARIOUS ads. One-season run.
Common Sense with Dan Carlin (rss, url) - seems dormant but good to get a Carlin political rant.
The Last Days of August (rss, url) - One-season run.
Office Hours with Spencer Rascoff (rss, url) CEO interviewing CEOs is the BEST. Seems dormant right now and he's no longer at Zillow.
Stuff happens, people react and report. I keep in touch with Finance stuff due to my background. I try not to spend too much time in News, but its nice to have a convenient place to get the lowdown on things.
The Diplomat | Asia Geopolitics (rss, url) - i dont know why these people are so interested in asia geopolitics lol but its great to tap into their world every now and then
News: Tech
Exponent (rss, url) - Ben Thompson and James Allworth talk through Stratechery stuff.
Odd Lots (rss, url) - Joe Wiesenthal is just the right mix of no bullshit finance guy but also nice and surprisingly good at singing. Tracy Alloway keeps him in check.
