“What Trump can Teach Us About Con Law” is a great appetizer sized podcast. The hosts are obviously not trump supports, but this isn’t screaming in the wind or just complaining. A constitutional law professor takes tweets the president has sent and examines precedent and previous Supreme Court cases on similar topics. Each episode deals with a particular topic and is only about 20-30 minutes long, but they manage to…

Roman Mars does an amazing job at making sense out of things. Highly recommend both of these.

The Art of Manliness Podcast.

Brett actually reads the material that the guest is coming on to talk about.

Shocking, I know.

He lets his guests talk, but reigns them in and directs the conversation well. His choice of guests reinforces the 'manliness' themes, of course, but he gets a lot of great female guests too. Each episode gets a full written transcript too, along with a lot of great links and other resources.

I often find myself using bits from nearly each show and thinking about the material for weeks afterwards

My brother turned me onto Adam Gordon Bell's Corecursive. https://corecursive.com Fantastic. I wish I was more like AGB. He's very good at adopting the worldview of the guest on their terms. Whereas I still have the toxic habit of compiling all the ways I disagree, instead of really listening. So I'm really enjoying how much AGB is stretching me. In totally different way, I'm also getting a lot out of 5x5's Critical…

Corecursive is pretty good. Haven't listened recently, really enjoyed these two:

Robert Evans’ The Women’s War is really good, proper first hand journalism covering the incredibly unique Rojava revolution. This is the real deal and the gold standard of journalism IMO.

Another great podcast is Intelligence Squared - effective and intellectual debate on loads of topics. Pretty US centric but great debates.

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

Agreed - he is one of the best interviewers I have ever heard and has an absolutely fascinating number of opinions on a wide range of topics. I don't agree with him on everything but he always makes me think

Right now, if you're looking for advanced discussions related to SARS-CoV02, is suggest this week in virology, https://microbe.tv/twiv (I didn't double check http vs https or www vs not). Right now they are getting some really good corona-virologist guests and they don't pull intellectual or depth punches to appeal to every layman. There's a lot, maybe look for episodes with field-expert guests.

+1. Twiv is superb. Someone recommend this podcast on HN a few weeks back, and I've been hooked on it. I think it's one of the best sources for Corona news. The hosts are good too. I think they do great job of breaking down complex topics so layman like me stand a chance of understanding it. I've learnt a great deal about viruses, vaccines and immunology in the 2 weeks I’ve been listening to it. It really is worth a listen.

The How To Write Funny podcast https://howtowritefunny.com/podcast/ is quite entertaining and give a lot of insight into what's happening behind the scenes of comedy (i.e. it explains how the sausage is made). Also, Scott Dikkers is an amazing interviewer and he is a founding editor of The Onion.

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)

Uncommon Knowledge is amazing. Peter Robins is a world class interviewer.
