Lex Fridman's AI Podcast. He gets to invite a lot of very interesting people (not just from AI research space). https://lexfridman.com/ai/ My personal favorite episodes are with Chris Lattner, Bjarne Stroustrup and Jim Keller.

he also interviewed Knuth, one of the better ones as well IMO!

Here are some of my recent favorites. Important to note, I find one good podcast out of like 5-10, most podcasts are not worthy of a listen. However here are some of my thought provoking favorites:

- The Portal with Ryan Holiday - The Knowledge Project with Jason Calacanis - Future Thinkers with Ken Wilber, all episodes are worth a listen, my favorite is: Clean Up, Wake Up, Grow Up, Show Up - Future Thinkers with Bonnita Roy - Conversations With Tyler with Ben Westhoff Conversations With Tyler with Ted Gioia - Y Combinator with Russ Roberts

Conversation with Tyler is a good one too. Check it out at https://conversationswithtyler.com/ .

Tyler has spoken in the past about the huge amount of research he does for his podcast, and it shows. Always an interesting conversation.

Good technical specialist discussions of science from an explicitly left-wing perspective http://www.scienceforthepeople.ca/

Light and amusing handling of a wide variety of moral/ethical issues https://www.youtube.com/user/thephilosophytube

One of the few actual left-wing podcasts. Coherent, solidly-researched journalism with very high-production values. https://www.stitcher.com/podcast/panoply/intercepted-with-je...

Excellent BBC series. There are other In Our Time subseries also. Would recommend using get_iplayer to navigate what seems to be a deliberately self-sabotaging BBC website In Our Time: History http://podcasts.files.bbci.co.uk/p01dh5yg.rss https://github.com/get-iplayer/get_iplayer

TrueAnon: deliberately rambling and speculative, provocative. Dirtbag Left. https://soundcloud.com/trueanonpod

Excellent material both video and audio. Includes people like Judea Pearl, Patricia Churchland. https://www.edge.org/audios

UK dirtbag left. Very loose format, intentionally unprofessional (?!) good deconstructions of Silicon Valley startup b/s https://twitter.com/trashfuturepod

Blowback, a podcast about the Iraq war is very good.

Surprised no one has mentioned https://darknetdiaries.com yet!

The podcast covers the stories of hackers, and the stories behind hacking attacks like Stuxnet. The creator comes from the cybersecurity field, so episodes don't shy away from including technical details. Each episode is well researched and very interesting. It is by far my favorite podcast.
