I really enjoy the “Invest like the best” podcast. The guests range from investors in public markets, private markets and some founders

 

Karma School of Business - Weekly podcast with PE deal and ops partners talking about how they look at cos and build them.   Great for getting a survey of how PE thinks and acts.

Middle Market Musings - Hosted by a PE Partner - lots of guests from the industry.

Best But Never Final - hosted by 3 PE pros - more educational and a deeper dive about the how and why of PE [great if you're coming up in the industry, will be applying for PE jobs, and/or want to know how it works]
