Mine is Acquired’s overview of SpaceX: https://overcast.fm/+FaxmmY8Jw . It was done right before the first Crew Dragon launch. They do such a great job of digging into a company’s history and the business model that powers them.

First deep dive into the business model I’d heard - really fascinating

The Race to Replace C & C++ [0]

Andrew Kelley of Zig [1], Ginger Bill of Odin [2], and Joshua Huelsman [3] (worked on Jai) debate in earnest about moving beyond these languages and why it might matter.

Self-plug since I hosted the podcast, but three compiler devs in the same room generated my favorite banter of 2020!

I 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. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iwcYp-XT7UI&list=PLrAXtmErZg...

First episode is really good but the second time he was on lex podcast was even better in my opinion: https://youtu.be/_L3gNaAVjQ4

"The Program audio series" is the only fiction podcast I listen to I heard about it first on HN.

It's hard to single out one episode as a favorite, but I really liked a recent one that is a good standalone episode. ("Read-only memory Computer" == ROM-COM) is the perfect display of the show's signature combination of humor, tech, and wit.

Link to the episode: https://programaudioseries.com/15-what-you-see-is-what-you-g... (but really, you should check out the whole show!)
