If you're open to being pissed off and want to go exploring beyond the SF / SV / liberal / rationalist / techie / IDW / iNtElLeckshualLY sTiMUlAtING hivemind, I'd recommend the following, all hosted by academics radioactive in one circle or another: What's Left What's Left? is a podcast hosted by Aimee Terese and Benjamin Studebaker, discussing political theory, philosophy, and current affairs from a [editor's note:…

One more:

Aufhebunga Bunga

The global politics podcast at the end of the End of History. From a left perspective.

Eric Weinstein's "The Portal" Lots of episodes of Joe Rogan (Depending on the guest) Brett Weinstein's "Dark Horse Podcast" Rationally Speaking by Julia Galef (Been on hiatus for a while, though) Uncommon Knowledge by Hoover Institution (I don't appreciate some of their conservative views, but they have interesting guests and are a good way to break the liberal bubble)

A fan of "The Portal" but didn't know about "Dark Horse". I listened to a couple Q&A episodes, and they, two professional biologists, concluded that covid-19 is most likely a gain-of-function, chimera virus created in a lab.

This viewpoint seems to be largely censored, but I think it deserves to be front and center of our covid discourse right now. Sad that marginal youtube channels are doing the work that our main institutions of journalism should.

I quite like http://rationallyspeakingpodcast.org if you can get past the very annoying intro music. Whether it's stimulating or simulating is for you to judge.

I wonder where Julia has been. I know there's been the pandemic, but the podcast was already done remotely. Her last tweet was back in November. Hope she's okay and will eventually bring the show back.

There is a note about a "hiatus" on the website though.

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 Bon…

My preference is history podcasts with single narrators which are generally a fixed length 45 minutes to an hour.

You Must Remember This A good podcast on the history of Hollywood and has some interesting insights if you're into old movies. This episode on Marilyn Monroe was interesting just to show how little she started out with: http://www.youmustrememberthispodcast.com/episodes/youmustre...

The History of Ancient Greece This can get bogged down in terminology some times, but its necessary due to the amount of detail the podcast gets into. This episode on Pericles and his role in Athenian democracy I found to be interesting because of the details on the extremes they went to: http://www.thehistoryofancientgreece.com/2017/05/044-democra...

Tides of History This has a lot of flavor and is pretty good at framing topics. I really liked the insight that Charles V was in a sense the Paul Atreides of Middle Age Europe. https://wondery.com/shows/tides-of-history/
