Couples Therapy with Candice and Casey I've never been a fan of talk shows, but they manage to talk about all aspects of life and relationships.
Perhaps not quite what the OP is looking for, but I use podcasts mostly for music consumption. My favorite (for quite a while now) is The Anjunadeep Edition [1], which delivers a 1 hour continuously-mixed "deep" (often programming-friendly) electronic music every week. I'd be curious to hear what other music podcasts HN recommends. [1] Here's a recent episode I enjoyed: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Chn4SZWnJbc
I wasn’t sure how much I was going to enjoy it and the hosts may not be to everyone’s taste but the stories they tell are so gripping I just have to keep listening to more episodes.
Joe Rogan is my favourite, best of those should be in Netflix. When properly translated they would have worldwide audience, like the one with Elon Musk.
