What Podcasts Do You Listen To?
What podcasts do you listen to? Please provide a brief summary.
Joe Rogan - Interviews all types of people: Talks a lot about comedy, health & nutrition, UFC, hunting
Hardcore History - Really knowledgeable and amusing guy talks about history.
Dan Patrick Show - Interviews with all types of people, but mostly involved in athletics
The Nerdist - Interviews with people mostly in stand-up, tech, movies, shows
In Our Time - BBC Radio show also distributed as a podcast. Wide variety of topics, generally academic, historic or high concept, with very informed guests and a good host.
Hardcore History - "I'm not a historian, I'm a fan of history" - great stuff and captures the visceral, emotional and empathetic elements of history that more usual dry academia don't.
Sinica - Beijing-based podcast by Westerners focused on contemporary Chinese issues, particularly political issues. Good hosts, good, informed guests, intelligent commentary with occasional anti-China rants that I enjoy.
On the Media - commentary on US media from NPR show.
Masters in Business - good interviews with big names in finance. Leans towards asset management topics, but not exclusively.
New Yorker Out Loud - stuff from the New Yorker.
The Harsh Couch - commentary on Australian and international affairs, largely from an Australian perspective.
Roderick on the Line - casual discussion from two >40 guys. Mixture of humourous discussion and intelligent ranting.
Those are my regulars.
I also listen to a lot of lecture series (The Teaching Company) and non-fiction audiobooks. I've got dogs, so have to spend a lot of time walking them. That's more productive if I'm listening to something informative.
Also, listening to something is easier than reading it.
Serial.
How is it? I listen to a lot of This American Life/ Radiolab and I know there has been a lot of hype around it.
Its really good. Listen to a couple of episodes.
yea, I second voidtrading, I recommend it
Agreed plus that guy totally did it....
Freakonomics is playing right now on my iPhone.
Marketplace Morning Report - business news Marketplace Tech - tech business news BBC Business Daily - daily features on the business world, about 17 mins. long Stacking Benjamins - personal finance, longer podcasts of 60+ mins. Bigger Pockets - real estate investing Car Talk - two guys answer car problem (and life) questions from listeners that call in, pretty funny podcast Stuff You Should Know - learn how: karate works, socialism works, currency works, TV ratings, stem cells, numbers station works, etc.
One of the guys from Car Talk died a couple days ago. Well that is if the pod cast is done by the same guys that do Car Talk on one of the public broadcasting stations.
They have been retired for a couple years and NPR has been running reruns ever since. They did the show for 35 years so there is plenty of material.
Oh wow, I just looked it up. I also didn't know the shows were reruns either. Good entertainment though haha.
99% Invisible - It's awesome and lots of 20 minutes clips
Mike and Tom Eat Snacks is a favorite of mine - it's 100% rambling, but the guys are funny a lot of the time, and I usually listen to it before bed.
BS Report - Bill Simmons A16z- Andreessen Horowitz - tech/vc Tim Ferriss Show
hardcore history and Dan Carlin;s other podcast, common sense - only podcasts I've ever paid for (the older HC histories)
This American Life
Bill Simmons
I don't really like Joe Rogan - he seems kinda pretentious and like his world-view is the only right way of doing anything.
I'll check out masters in business, I also I enjoy mad money with Cramer lmao
I listened to the masters in business with krugman, I definitely recommend checking that out.
I used to listen to Car Talk and DVDASA
The Double Chen show on Youtube - quite underrated, its not technically a podcast but its format would make it so
''The Bryan Callen Show''. By far the best podcast.
bryancallen.com
KFC Radio
Any of you guys listen to the Art of Manliness podcast? I never have, but their daily emails are great. Lots of cool, random information.
---Brainstuff: 3 min or so segments on different topics folks might want to know more about (why do limbs fall asleep?, how does safety glass work?, etc) ---Dave Ramsey Show: Tells how to not be an idiot with your finances / financial life via call-ins from folks that are currently being idiots and need advice. Entertaining, but pretty basic, and I agree w/ maybe 80% of it. ---NPR's Business Story of the Day: Short business related current event stories ---NPR's Planet Money: Way interesting...maybe 20-30 minute podcasts about the economy, story-style. Like "How to Steal a Million Barrels of Oil", "What Two Pasta Factories tell us about the Italian Economy", and "Why is the Milk in the Back of the Store?". ---Startups for the Rest of Us ---Stuff You Should Know: Topics vary greatly, like "How Extinction Works", "How the Great Train Robbery Worked", "How Police Interrogation Works".
1 choice of this list would be Planet Money IMO.Just updated my Podcast list before you posted and saw the "How to Steal A Million Barrels of Oil"! Sounds interesting. Agree that Dave Ramsey is a good one. I don't agree with everything that he pushes, but he has some great material.
Listened to Planet Money the other day about how to steal a million barrels of oil. They found some greta people to interview and talk about what actually goes on.
All Adam Carolla podcasts. I can't get enough of this guy. Brings me back to youth when I listened to Loveline and watched The Man Show.
-- Intelligence Squared: Debates held between two teams of two experts on a topic in the news - Common Core, Do Millenials Stand a Chance, Is the Lecture Hall Obsolete? Good insight from opposing perspectives.
-- Welcome to Night Vale: This is a fun one, surrealist/dry humor but personally I think it's very funny. Revolves around a town where basically every conspiracy theory is true and lots of strange things happen. Comes out bi-monthly and they do lots of live shows.
This American Life Serial has become a great one The Time Ferriss Show
I have a ton because I listen to podcasts during the communte and a bunch while I work.
Serial - Week by week re-examination of a Baltimore murder case. Current favorite. Solid Verbal - Best college football podcast. Orvis Fly Fishing Podcast BS Report - Everyone knows what this is Retronauts - Talk about old school video games I grew up playing (for my inner nerd). Star Talk - Neil Degrasse Tyson A few Notre Dame football specific podcasts
Thaks for the other suggestions, excited to try out Stuff You Should Know and Planet Money.
There are 'a few' ND football specific podcasts? Wow. Also, disgusting.
One is a podcast given by Brian Kelly solely devoted to bitching and complaining about the last play and penalty during the FSU vs. ND game last month. It has hours and hours of content.
I am always drawn to Freakonomics over everything else. It's so entertaining and put together so well. Also, Market Foolery, Where the Money Is, This American Life, and a few personal-development types.
I stream Jim Rome's radio show when I have the chance, sadly you have to pay to be able to hear it on demand as a podcast though. That dude is a jerk, but hilarious, truly an underrated comedy personality.
In addition to those already listed...
Wait Wait... Don't Tell Me! - NPR's weekly news quiz. Usually entertaining but has a somewhat liberal bias
Grammar Girl Quick and Dirty Tips for Better Writing- Useful grammar lessons with some history thrown in
You are in the air with Morgan page
Planet Money was amusing
What podcasts do you guys listen to? (Originally Posted: 10/20/2015)
Guys - what podcasts do you all like to listen to to help stay up to date on deal-flow? Is there anything out there like NYT's Dealbook, but in podcast format?
Thanks!
Don't know if there is anything like Dealbook, but Barry Ritholtz's Masters in Business is a great one. Someone on here recommended it a while ago and I've never regretted signing up.
Definitely Masters in Business. My two favorite episodes are with Bobby Flay and Leon Cooperman.
Thanks, guys. I'll check it out.
Great Podcast! (Originally Posted: 05/18/2011)
I urge all of you guys to check out this podcast. It's really good. I've listened to hundreds of these, and this is among the very best.
http://www.econtalk.org/archives/2011/05/byers_on_the_bl.html
Description: William Byers of Canada's Concordia University and author of The Blind Spot talks with EconTalk host Russ Roberts about the nature of knowledge, science and mathematics. Byers argues that there is an inherent uncertainty about science and our knowledge that is frequently ignored. Byers contrasts a science of wonder with a science of certainty. He suggests that our knowledge of the physical world will always be incomplete because of the imperfection of models and human modes of thought relative to the complexity of the physical world. The conversation also looks at the implications of these ideas for teaching science and social science.
cool, will check it out. thanks

Anyone a fan of podcasts? I am on the subway for about 15-20 minutes in the morning and like to listen to NPR, Bloomberg, Morningstar, etc. Looking for some solid rec's.
I am into foreign politics, finance, business, whatever. Let's here 'em.
This American Life is by far my favorite podcast.
Car Talk is good as well. Bill Simmons for sports if you can stand his voice.
How about audiobooks?
I've made several attempts at trying to get into financial podcasts but it's always some monotoned stuffy nosed guy talking and I have to switch over to rap to recover.
fuck how do I delete posts
Good IB podcasts? (Originally Posted: 08/26/2008)
Can anyone recommend a good IB podcast? I tried the one from WSJ but 90% of the times they talk about BS. Like yesterday they talked about organic grass treatment??? WtF?? I don't think Dealbook or FT Alphaville have one. Or am I wrong? I couldn't find one... I'm just looking for something that would give me a good overview of the markets with a little insight into M&A if possible...
Any ideas?
Oh ya I would like to know too!
Are there none?
Where the Money Is from The Motley Fool focuses only on the Financial sector,,, IB, big banks, etc- its pretty good
Favorite econ/news/finance podcasts? (Originally Posted: 06/13/2012)
Looking for some good podcasts to listen to on the subway to work. Any recs?
call me maybe
Bloomberg Radio is good, its not finance but the Adam Corolla one is always good as well.
Fareed Zakaria's weekly podcast has been my main thing for years. Bloomberg Radio is not bad, but there's a lot of the intra-day babble that goes on with any daily broadcast. 90% of the words they speak are meaningless.
I try and catch the WSJ "What's News" one every morning. It's not great. 80% of it is an ad for Cellular something with a really annoying woman's voice, and it's just a few minutes long. I wish WSJ This Morning was put out earlier than 8:15 am :/
Browse around on iTunes and see what you like. You never know what you might come across. The BBC is usually pretty solid.
What podcast/radio do you get your news from? (Originally Posted: 04/11/2013)
I am trying to get something on my iphone or laptop to listen during lunch.
Any recommendations?
I really like BBC Radio's Wake Up To Money, it's a good breakdown of what is going on in Europe and is only 22-25 minutes long.
Where the Money Is from The Motley Fool is a daily podcast.. its pretty good. One guy worked in PE and the other was at BofA before. they focus on financials.
What are you looking for? That's the question. News, political news, financial news, comedic news, alternative news, comedy, video game news. There are podcasts for just about anything you can imagine. So narrow it down a bit.
