#12Reply All - #158 The Case of the Missing Hit
I was going to put this one. I'm a fan of Reply All, but this was an episode that was so good it almost didn't seem real. Low spoilers, but they downplayed the ending so much that even without it, it'd have been a really good episode. But with the ending, I straight up dropped my jaw. Such a cool, relatable, story.

#14I loved this interview Lex Fridman had with George Hotz. He's very opinionated original thinker with the credentials to back it up. He runs comma.ai, sellers of a device that can plug into many cars and drive for you.

#15Naval Ravikant on Joe Rogan. From 2019, but without doubt the best podcast I listened this year.

#17Hardcore History: Supernova in the East, part 5.
It's about Japan during the second world war and there's something about the absolutely insane Japanese mentality that lead civilians to commit mass suicide that captivated me.
The whole series, and really the whole of Hardcore History is absolutely amazing and even if you think you don't like history you absolutely should give it a try. Blueprint of Armageddon is still the best piece of entertainment I've ever had, regardless of media.

#19For me the Changelog podcast with the CTO of Github: https://changelog.com/podcast/395 and this podcast about the slack data platform: https://softwareengineeringdaily.com/2020/01/10/slack-data-p... Edit: updated correctly that the podcast was with the CTO.
That was not Nat Friedman, but Jason Warner (CTO at GitHub).

#20I found the Planet Money episode Big Rigged surprisingly moving. It covered the business model of American trucking company Prime through the story of Kimberly. It was the all too familiar story of employee rights being eroded through a shady business model. Prime were exploiting workers by encouraging them to operate as independent contractors with an exclusive contract whilst also loaning them their truck, setting their rates, assigning their jobs, and asking them to pay for the training they delivered if they left within their first year of operation.
