Command Line Heroes: https://www.redhat.com/en/command-line-heroes

Podcast by RedHat on tech history, systems, open source, cloud...

Very well produced (like, really well produced) but few episodes.

Season 2 is airing right now on what looks like a biweekly schedule.

No Such Thing As A Fish - from the team who do research for the show QI ABC Radio Nation does quite a few great shows, you’ll find them at http://abc.net.au/rn

I absolutely love No Such Thing As A Fish. I religiously listen to and wait for every new episode.

I didn't know that was still going. They had a brief stint on TV a few years ago.

I'm an "ETF Guy" so I listen to a lot of the wonky ETF and Finance-related podcasts:

- Behind the Markets with Jeremy Schwartz

- Invest like the Best - with O'Shaughnessy - not just finance stuff. example: Recent podcast on "Tracking" wild animals in the bush was great.

- The Curious Investor - AQR's new Podcast on financial factors and the like

- The Meb Faber Show - Meb Faber runs a fund and has interesting guests

- The Monthly Dirtcast - ex-Lehman guy who started a popular daily financial newsletter. Still OK - needs help editing and more frequency.

- Trillions - ETF-Focused Bloomberg podcast with Eric Balchunas. Trillions refers to the $5tr in ETF assets today

Other Stuff

- 99% Invisible - interesting random stuff - well produced

- Bowery Boys - NYC history

- Desert Island Discs - long running radio interviews on the BBC

- How I Built This - interviews with Entrepreneurs - highly recommended (NPR)

- Masters of Scale with Reid Hoffman

- Pod Save America - Ex-Obama guys discussing the past week's news

- Real Time with Bill Maher - audio of his HBO show - never actually seen the show - you miss out on some visuals but fun to listen to his ranting.

- Wait Wait Dont Tell Me, This American Life, The Moth - 3 well-produced NPR podcasts. Wait Wait is a game show with the latest week's news - fun background noise for me. This American Life has interesting stories but can get a bit slow.

- Radiolab - the audio formatting bothers me - but they have interesting stories.

- Freakonomics - declined in quality a bit from a few years ago - but still nice to listen to.

- Joe Rogan Experience - Long (1-3 hour) podcasts - But Im always amazed at Joe Rogan's ability to connect with guests. I like his interview style, the cadence of his questions and how he gets people to open up. See Elon Musk's latest interview - also on Youtube.

Edit & Request for Podcasts (RFP): I note that either a lot of podcasts - or at least the ones I get recommended to me - tend to be "left-leaning" politically. I'm on the lookout for more right-leaning podcasts that balance this out a bit. I see one comment below suggesting "Left Right & Centre" may help... Other ideas?

I listen to mostly political, comedy, and political comedy podcasts: * Doug Loves Movies * FiveThirtyEight Politics * Friday Night Comedy from BBC Radio 4 (for The Now Show) * MSNBC Rachel Maddow * My Brother, My Brother and Me * News Quiz Extra * No Such Thing as a Fish * Richard Herring's Leicester Square Theatre Podcast * What Trump Can Teach Us About Con Law * Why Is This Happening? with Chris Hayes

Why is this being down voted?
