The single best episode for me was this:

Climate Change Debate: Bjørn Lomborg and Andrew Revkin | Lex Fridman Podcast #339

Getting climate change out of the framing of "if we don't stop all CO2 emissions by 2030 we're going to roast the world" and into "yes, it's important, and we need to deal with it, in a reasonable manner" was quite a relief.

Pretty much binge listened to these this year:

- Startups for the Rest of Us (https://www.startupsfortherestofus.com/): Great podcast for any aspiring entrepreneur and bootstrapper.

- The Knowledge Project (https://fs.blog/knowledge-project-podcast/): Great interview podcast around a variety of topics

- The REWORK podcast (https://37signals.com/podcast/): Probably don't need lots of introduction here. Read the books in the past, but its great to actually hear Jason Fried and David Heinemeier Hansson to actually talk about those things.

Sean Carroll’s Mindscape.

Ahh, forgot about this one! I'll definitely give it a go. Also there's one from Quanta magazine, with Steven Strogatz. Hm, I see the last one, with him, was from august. Still they've continued with someone else I guess.

Hardcore History by Dan Carlin [1] is by far the best podcast I've ever had the pleasure of listening to. I'm currently on the WW1 series and it is absolutely jaw-dropping stuff. [1] https://www.dancarlin.com/hardcore-history-series/

My favorite series of Hardcore History is Death Throes of the Republic[0]. It discusses the rise and fall of the Roman Republic and particularly Julius Caesar. This time period has an abundance of resources that provide plentiful discussion, and it’s full of incredible characters. I should probably find a book on the topic because I was glued to every word of each episode.

Swindled is one of the best produced podcasts I've heard. They tell stories about financial and corporate crimes. https://open.spotify.com/episode/1R4mEpogS2auhyKnppCmrD?si=1... https://valuedlistener.com

Swindled's coverage of Enron was fantastic!

Well, there's...

- the by now ubiquitous Lex Friedman because of the interesting guests he manages to snare.

- James Lindsay's 'New Discourses' because he dares to shine a light on the cesspit which is academia nowadays - rather important for me seeing how as my daughter is intent on taking up English language and literature, a discipline which has become infested with the type of critical theory nonsense Lindsay has been dissecting for the last years.

- I used to listen to Joe Rogan - going so far as to make a tool to enable the use of standard RSS podcast tools with Spotify-hosted netcasts [1] - but more or less stopped doing so due to a lack of interest, mostly due to a lack of what I consider to be interesting guests. As a rule I come to these types of netcasts for the guests, not for the host.
