Other podcasts come and fall by the wayside, but I'll always look forward to the next episode of In Our Time ( http://www.bbc.co.uk/podcasts/series/iot ). I'm excited to try others listed here that are new to me, though.
Tyler Cowen interviews Sam Altman — https://medium.com/conversations-with-tyler/tyler-cowen-sam-... Naval’s “You Won’t Get Rich Renting Out Your Time” (and the whole series) — https://nav.al/renting-time The Portal: Werner Herzog — https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Eua5iPUKw6Y
> “You Won’t Get Rich Renting Out Your Time” This meme is pretty popular among certain circles, but it bears some examination. For a lot of people, "rich" means "financially independent". And depending on your particular lifestyle choices, you can certainly become financially independent by working for a tech BigCo or as a quant, and that path has enormously lower risk than entrepreneurship.
My first smoothie caused a physiological reaction and it lit up something in my brain. A while after drinking it I messaged a few friends to tell them that I value our friendship. It appears to make you less autistic, or something along those lines. There appear to be additional positive effects, although I hesitate to describe them because they even sounds like bullshit to my own ears.
"Sulforaphane and Its Effects on Cancer, Mortality, Aging, Brain and Behavior, Heart Disease & More" [0]:
> Isothiocyanates are some of the most important plant compounds you can get in your diet. In this video I make the most comprehensive case for them that has ever been made. Short attention span? Skip to your favorite topic by clicking one of the time points below. Full timeline below the fold...
"Jed Fahey, Sc.D. on Isothiocyanates, the Nrf2 Pathway, Moringa & Sulforaphane Supplementation" [1]:
> Dr. Jed W. Fahey is a nutritional biochemist with broad training and extensive background in plant physiology, human nutrition, phytochemistry and nutritional biochemistry. He is the director of the Cullman Chemoprotection Center at Johns Hopkins.
> The reason I've asked him to join us today, in particular, however, is because he has been researching isothiocyanates like sulforaphane for over 20 years and is an exceptional expert in this arena.
> Dr. Fahey and his colleagues have been, in a big way, at the absolute center of what is a staggering amount of research on these very powerful compounds. > There is hardly a topic which we can discuss in which he doesn't have an anecdote about a study he was involved in, or, in some cases, tribal knowledge that may not even be published but is nonetheless interesting and an important part of the story that is unique to his particular vantage point.
This is entirely off-topic, but if you're going through and downvoting people for posting their favorite podcasts in a thread like this, you should take a break from here, or the internet for a while, it's not that serious.
That's one way to view it, certainly. The other way is that downvotes are a great tool for ensuring high quality discussion, and if the thread is about podcast episodes, then downvoting full podcasts helps keep the thread organized. Downvotes aren't necessarily bad, they may just mean - hey, this doesn't belong as much in this thread, so I'm voting on it to help organize the thread for other readers.
Episode 3 of the 1619 Project 's podcast: The Birth of American Music: https://www.nytimes.com/2019/09/06/podcasts/1619-black-ameri... And generally Why Is This Happening is fantastic. Here are three of my favorite episodes from the past year: Michael Lewis of Moneyball fame: https://www.nbcnews.com/think/opinion/how-break-federal-gove... David Wallace-Wells on climate change: https://www.nbcnews.com/think/opinion/fi…
I'd recommend episodes 4/5 (one story split over two episodes) of the 1619 Project as well, learned a lot about how finance works in an agriculture setting.
Scriptnotes #403: How to Write a Movie[1], where screenwriter Craig Mazin (Chernobyl, The Hangover 2/3) meticulously lays out one approach to crafting a screenplay around thesis and antithesis. (TLDR: put your characters through agony.) It’s the most impactful episode this year because I’ve been keeping these ideas in mind lately whenever I’ve watched a movie, and it has really given me a different way to understand…
If you're a history geek you should definitly check out Dan Carlin's Hardcore History. This year he only made 2 episodes. 'Supernova in the east' II & III. At a whopping 4 hours each these feel more like an audiobook crammed with history rather than a Podcast. But I can definitly recommend them both & the complete works of him of course.
I want to like Dan carlin, but their is something weirdly alex jones about his voice and mannerism. However thehistoryofrome.com and revolutionspodcast.com are fantastic alternatives.
They are both passionate people whose articulation is rife with some distinct regional and broadcast (ie. radio) shibboleths.
Only one of them is a post truth raving lunatic dangerous populist performance artist shill.
You're doing a disservice to Dan Carlin and giving Alex Jones way too much power/credit by justifying a knee jerk bias based on superficial resemblances.
Every episode of Darknet Diaries[0]. Episode 49 and the two Xbox Underground episodes are excellent, but regardless of where you start you cannot go wrong with Darknet Diaries. 0: https://darknetdiaries.com/
He doesn't seem at all to be someone in the security research field.
Either he has those reaction because this is a mainstream podcast and purposely tries to have a "dumb" reaction for his audience (like in a children's film) or he doesn't seem to understand hacker culture at all.
