#102Darknet Diaries - Episode 65: PSYOP - https://darknetdiaries.com/episode/65/
I find the whole Darknet Diaries podcast really fascinating. It covers topics like hacking (black hat, white hat), activism, hacktivism, cyber security and so forth, with a narrative approach that's very pleasant to listen to. This episode in particular talks about what PSYOP (Psychological Operations) is (basically how to use techniques to manipulate people to reach an outcome both in a war scenario and not) by talking to experts in the field and telling their stories. The episodes are all very good and high quality in my opinion, in fact I'm still working my way through the whole backlog, but I don't have much left already. I picked this one because it left me particularly uncomfortable at the end, while at the same time having taught me something.
Each episode also lists its sources (of the information, ndr) on the episode page of their website, which I find amazing.
Bonus episode: The Athens Shadow Games - https://darknetdiaries.com/episode/64/

#103"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-…
Came here to promote “The Program” as well! My favorite episodes are “The White Algorithms’ Burden”.

JACK: Okay, so what is psychological operations?
HENRY: Psychological operations is a skill set which is used to persuade, change, and influence the behavior of the target audience.
JACK: To persuade, change, and influence the behavior of a target audience. To persuade, change, and influence the behavior of a target audience. Huh.
HENRY: That could be with your adversary or with your friendly population. The main thing that PSYOP does not do is PSYOP – perform PSYOP on the American public.
Sure they don't! This is as reassuring as "The NSA does not wiretap Americans".

#105If I had to pick only one, Dev Game Club's episode 236 where they start talking about Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time.
It's a weekly podcast where two veteran game developers play and discuss games of the past and their relevance today. There's tons of podcasts where random gamers discuss games, but very few that can do a deep dive into the technical aspects. Each game gets discussed for several episodes. It's a fascinating perspective and the two hosts have great chemistry.

#107Hidden Brain, Episode titled, "Our Pursuit of Happiness": https://www.npr.org/2020/07/31/897673162/you-2-0-our-pursuit...
I found a section in podcast that talks about: "we tend to present our best sides to strangers rather than to people who inhabit our lives is very sad", really insightful.

#109Greta Thunberg “Humanity has not yet failed”.
If for nothing else, just to hear the descriptions of travelling across America through the eyes of complete alien (a “socialist European).

#110Not Overthinking - How can we treat children morally? (Pt. 1)
"In this episode, we review Ali's unemployment, talk about how to talk about workism, and Taimur finally elucidates some concrete ideas about how society treats children immorally, and how we treat children better.
https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/not-overthinking/id145...
This is the first of a two-part discussion about how society short-changes children. I don't agree with all the ideas, but it's certainly changed how I think about children.
