1. Hardcore History [0]. Even if you're not a fan of history, check it out because Dan really grips you with the story. I can't say enough good things about this podcast and look forward to each new episode. The episodes are LONG; they're more like audiobooks in a way. The series on World War I (Blueprint for Armageddon) [1] was six episodes and 24 hours long. Perfect for road trips, but the downside is there's only…

My fav thing about Escape Pod is their reviews of previous stories. Quite frank, and usually give an interesting perspective.

+1 for Hardcore History his world war 2 eastern front still haunts me

For the french speaking, Nouvelle Ecole is a very nice, humble podcast interviewing people with a non-standard path. Very nice and interesting!

Indie Hackers http://indiehackers.com is my current favorite

The Startup Chat https://thestartupchat.com/ is a close second.

Startup School by Seth Godin was a limited 15 episode production of a event he did, this is also really good.

Look no further than:

'Security Now' w/ the impeccable Steve Gibson. 'The Ben Shapiro Show' (obviously) 'The President's Inbox' 'On The Media' w/ my good gal Brook Gladstone - Bob can take a seat 'The Church of What's Happening Now' for the skinny 'Containers' (still like globalization?) 'The Daily' (get informed at the start of the day) 'Exponent' 'The Global Politico' 'Nature Prodcast' 'The Joe Rogan Experience' (duh) 'Software Eng. Daily' (duh)

Talk python to me - Patrick Kennedy’s highly polished podcast on my favorite language The cppcast Syntax - web front end stuff Software engineering daily Mac OS ken Brent Ozar Office Hours -SQL server q and a Coder radio (and pretty much anything from Jupiter Broadcasting) - Linux and OSS oriented banter regarding development work

Talk Python to Me is actually Michael Kennedy, if you like that checkout Python Bytes. Less polished, greater breadth in less depth, much shorter.
