Joscha Bach is always an interesting guy, this was his latest appearance on Lex Fridman's podcast [0].
Edit: If we're including longform video essays, Down The Rabbit Hole made a 6 hour video on the history of Eve Online [1]. It's interesting to see how pure capitalist systems evolved and shaped the game.
SBF on Odd Lots describing yield farming [1]. For context, this was before the FTX meltdown or any allegations about Alameda using FTX customer funds. Was honestly stunning to hear someone unintentionally explaining their business as a ponzi scheme. [1] - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/sam-bankman-fried-and-...

A great episode, but not released in 2023
English: Lingthusiasm 34: Emoji are Gesture Because Internet (can emojis be used as a language? They discuss what makes a language a language, and why sign languages are languages but "gestures" in general are not and what similarities emojis show from the latter category)
German: AstroGeo episodes "Asteroseismologie" (starquakes) and "Der Atomreaktor Oklo" (a natural nuclear reactor)
Dutch: Napleiten #16: "Stomdronken een ongeluk veroorzaken maar toch onschuldig" (legally causing a vehicle accident on public roads despite being drunk AF)
Three episodes that I really enjoyed (from an engineer-turned-investor's POV): https://podcasts.apple.com/dk/podcast/palmer-luckey-inventin... (Palmer Luckey) https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/a-conversation-with-ch... (Charlie Munger) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DcWqzZ3I2cY (Jeff Bezos)
I listened to Palmer Luckey on Moonshot with Peter Diamandis, but I'm guessing they discussed many of the same things (VR Origins, Anduril, Meta).
It seems like we have similar interests. I'll have to check out the Charlie Munger episode.
Apart from that I used to listen to Mike Duncan's Revolutions series, even though he finished up that project in 2022.
Likewise the BBC produced an Apollo-era podcast called 13 Minute to the Moon, which was excellent, and technical enough to keep even a space nerd like me interested. Shout-out too to the Space Above Us, for technical excellence in all things Mercury to STS.
Wild card was any of the Anomalous Podcast Network's output, which seems to have stopped around May. Look for anything with Dave Clarke or Graeme Rendall in it.
