The Knowledge Project All In Conversations with Tyler Lex Friedman Tim Ferris Show Bankless Hardcore History I find that with most podcasts you have good and bad episodes. Also even really medicore podcasts often have 1 or 2 really good episodes.
Speak The Truth, to get proper, verified updates and assessments about the war in Ukraine by a former US army sniper.
My top ones would be: Tech: - Kubernetes Podcast from Google - O11ycast - The Kubelist podcast Non Tech: - Exploring the Lord of the Rings - Tolkien with lots of Dad Jokes - The Prancing Pony Podcast - Tolkien line by line - The Song of Urania - History of Astronomy
BBC In Our Time -- such a broad range of topics, highly recommend for a browse. ~45 minutes, usually a conversation with three or so experts in a given field, hard to get depth but excellent surveys of topics that you might not have encountered. Fall of Civilizations -- 2-4 hour histories of various societies. History of Napoleon -- I like to have a long-form on the go, this is my current one. Adds a lot of context t…

I'm a genius, and the rest of you are idiots.
Marketplace - public radio daily about the economy that’s a great education on the economy and everything really
Making Sense with Sam Harris - Sam is a powerful thinker and he has a wide range of topics and amazing guests
Corecursive - every episode is a story about a piece of software: excellent
Hardcore History, of course
The Joy of Why - different science topic each episode and goes pretty deep
Mostly, though 500+ youtube channels.
Ones and Tooze - shortish weekly podcast about world events and economics, with Adam Tooze The Inquiry, The Briefing Room, and Analysis - BBC podcasts about current events Revolutions - great series which has had its final ever episode, but as a history podcast it’s not going to become out of date.
Not everyone likes Tim. He's kind of seen as a self help guy.
But that isn't important, because the show is not about Tim. The conversation is often streered towards his interests, but you may share those.
I think Ferriss is widely curious about the world and a good interviewer, so the show has great variety.
Just cherry pick guests you want to hear, and I also recommend trying some you're not sure about. The couple episodes I liked best were completely unknown names to me.
