Re: Ask HN: What podcasts do you listen to regularly?
#82Perhaps not quite what the OP is looking for, but I use podcasts mostly for music consumption. My favorite (for quite a while now) is The Anjunadeep Edition [1], which delivers a 1 hour continuously-mixed "deep" (often programming-friendly) electronic music every week. I'd be curious to hear what other music podcasts HN recommends. [1] Here's a recent episode I enjoyed: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Chn4SZWnJbc
My absolute favourite is KEXP's Music That Matters[1] of the KEXP Live In-Studio performance fame[2]. They have an amazing artist selection.
I love the soothing voices of Cheryl Waters, Kevin Cole and John Richards, the short background informations they provide about the bands and their upcoming releases and tour dates, and the music usually spans across multiple genres which broadens your listening horizont and appreciation of other styles which you might not usually listen to.
But most of it all, I truly enjoy discovering new music from them which almost always is spectacular.

Sidenote: I also like that they prominently (actually, "equally" should be the more fitting word in a better world) feature female musicians/bands (which you sadly cannot say from most other music podcasts / radio shows... most of it features male voices/artists), even without ever mentioning "Ladies" or all-female or otherwise including the gender in their short artist announcements (as it should be).

Same same! Would love to read more music podcast recommendations. My personal pick is The Concert by the Gardner Museum. Each episode is a live performance of classical chamber music. Sadly shut down last year but there are 12 years of archives online and all episodes are still available in the feed.
I have classical playlists in youtube but their quality is nowhere near this podcast's and I didn't learn anything about the genre while listening to them since it's just popular tracks passing one after the other in the background without an introduction.

#86I'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…
If you want news, politics and culture from a perspective that is libertarianish and/or right-wing-ish, try:
* The Fifth Column - An editor of Reason Magazine + friends discuss news once a week
* Penn's Sunday School - Libertarian/atheist/skeptic magician Penn Jillette + comedian friends discuss news
* Coffee with Scott Adams - Will amusingly discuss from a "persuasion" frame why whatever Trump just did/said is, like, totally awesome and you just didn't get it :-)
* The Ben Shapiro Show - A very-Jewish conservative anti-abortion pro-Israel take on the news
* Honey Badger Radio - Outrage from a female-led Mens Rights Activist / anti-feminist perspective.
(To balance that last one: if you want outrage from an explicitly PRO-feminist perspective try Feminist Frequency. )

#89Youtube sucks because you cannot turn the phone screen off and listen only the audio. But I use "youtube-dl -x" to extract audio in my home server. I listen many "podcasts" in various languages this way. Joe Rogan is my favourite, best of those should be in Netflix. When properly translated they would have worldwide audience, like the one with Elon Musk.
On Android I use Firefox with [1] and [2] for YouTube; the former lets me turn the screen off without letting YouTube know that the screen is turned off. On my laptop, I use youtube-dl when I want to keep a personal copy, and mpv/vlc (which automatically using youtube-dl internally) when I just want to play something once. ---- 1: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/video-backgro... 2: https://addons.mozil…
The problem is even if the screen is off, youtube still sends the video data to your phone. It would be nice if youtube gave us an option of "audio only" streaming so only the audio is sent. Currently the only work around is downloading the audio using youtube-dl.
