Joe Rogan Experience

A genuine question: can someone explain to me the appeal? I tried a number of Joe Rogan episodes, and the long, unstructured format of just "shooting shit" was deeply offputing to me.

For me that is the appeal. I don’t listen regularly but do occasionally enjoy his interviews depending on the guest.

But yeah, if you don’t like long rambling discussions it’s safe to say it’s not for you.

I gave up listening to podcasts for education. I found after a certain point - it gave little reward. There’s only so many topics you can know about that people want to discuss. For now - I listen to podcasts that are more humorous than anything because I feel like I always need to keep my edge with humor and I like funny stuff. So I am a premium member of TMG Studios.

I agree a lot of podcasts are just rehashing the same sets of ideas. The same can be said about books released these days - most of these books should be a ten page article at best.

That said, there are definitely gems waiting to be discovered. The trick here is to spend some time looking for podcasts and episodes. For example - there is this podcast called elite man podcast. Most of the episodes are duds and the host also has weird opinions about vaccines, Trump etc. But there are a few really nice guests on the podcast. I don’t recommend the podcast, but some episodes sure are worth listening to.

For software design, I highly recommend the Metamuse podcast.

It's by the team behind the Muse 2.0 app [0], but the podcast is about building software in general. There are episodes about native Mac development, visual programming tools, design choices in games etc.

As someone who's more of a data guy than a software person, I always feel like I learn something new listening to these discussions.

Econtalk has exposed me to the most interesting people and ideas.

I second EconTalk, hosted by Russ Roberts. I especially like his episodes with Michael Munger (a regular guest, like 42x).

Yep, the episodes with Mike Munger are great!

I'm excitedly waiting for S3 of the Blowback podcast [0]. The first 2 were incredibly good. [0] https://blowback.show/

I heard an interview with Brendan and Noah on the WarNerd podcast. They were clearly pumping their new season on the Korean War and I came away pumped. I might have to check this out.
