The Jocko Podcast [1]. Hands-down has changed my attitude and life for the better. It’s about daily disciplines, leadership, human nature, history, and BJJ. Discovered it before 2019 but it’s definitely been the most impactful.

Nice find OP! Would love to find a podcast that covers WW2 battles (e.g. Battle of Midway)

#153So this is cheating a little bit, but we listened to it on a road trip in 2019, and it was by far the most impactful podcast we heard last year: Radiolab: From Tree to Shining Tree https://www.wnycstudios.org/podcasts/radiolab/articles/from-... It's from 2016, but it's about the underground network of roots and organisms that connects a whole forest together and how it functions. And it's amazing. And it keeps gettin…
Highly recommend watching this documentary called 'Trees will save our planet', if this is what fascinates you. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RjDWLaGjGi0

#154For me it's got to be the podcast "On The Metal" by the guys over at Oxide Computer Company. I was a big fan of a lot of the talks by Bryan Cantrill and Jess Frazelle, but hearing these two talk to people who worked on such interesting problems at some amazing points in history makes me so happy. It was also such a good reminder of why i wanted to do software, and re-ignited my love of working closer to the metal. In…
I second “On the Metal”. My favorite episode thus far is Kenneth Finnegan on starting the Freemont Cabal Internet Exchange. A well told and empowering story of grassroots community building. Makes me want to get an ASN.

#155CoRecursive by Adam Gordon Bell is fantastic. I especially liked the episodes with Hal Abelson (SICP) https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/corecursive-software-e...
And

Bryan Cantrill episode was good too. Lots of variety and Adam Gordon Bell interviews very well.

#156Two hours and no one mentioned Lex Fridmans podcast on AGI? Interesting. Hard to pinpoint a specific episode, here is last weeks episode [0] with Stephen Kotkin, on "Stalin, Putin, and the nature of power". Fridman has a lineup of one-of-a-kind guests, each providing an individual perspective on -to me- interesting topics, mostly in the scope of artificial general intelligence. I'm looking forward to check the other…
Another podcast on diverse thoughtful topics that's done in a similar vein: Sean Caroll Mindscape

#158So this probably isn't quite what you're looking for, but my favourite podcast discovery in 2019 was Off Book: The Improvised Musical Podcast.
Each week Jess McKenna, Zach Reino, and their band are joined by a special guest and together they improvised an entire hour-long musical from scratch without anything prepared ahead of time, including the music.
It's just utterly remarkable how good and clever and funny it is given it's entirely improvised and off the cuff. In my opinion it's one of the most astonishing demonstrations of human creativity I've ever seen, and it's doubly impressive when you remember they do it every single week and still never run out of ideas.

I would also HIGHLY recommend the Futility Closet podcast and website. The podcast is described as "forgotten stories from the pages of history" but it's so much more than that, and so is the website. Anyone who enjoys logic puzzles, mathematics, chess, history, old books, and interesting stories will love it.

#159The Roman Mars Mazda Virus from Reply All and 99% Invisible.
This joint episode is an engaging and hilarious tale of debugging an overly ‘smart’ car stereo, as well as going above and beyond the call of duty out of sheer love for podcasting.

#160Barbell Medicine- you might think sports medicine is not for you if you’re not a weight lifter or powerlifter but it completely changed my diet, injury recovery and my understanding of how to talk to doctors and interpret all kinds of medical research and understand the limits of medical knowledge. The themed episodes are generally much more information dense than the q&a episodes, for a start the heart disease episode completely changed my understanding of blood lipids and risks of saturated fat.
