2.5 Admins - with Jim Salter from Ars. It’s a great sys admin podcast

BSD Now - everything *BSD. Quality has declined quite a bit since Benedict joined, though.

Corecursive - some really great stories on software development. The recent one on debugging LISP in deep space is great.

Changelog - Sometimes decent interviews with founders and in-depth tech interview. Avoid JS Party though, it’s really daunting.

Cyber - stories on hacking and cyber security from Vice / Motherboard.

2600: Off the hook - legendary.

BBC In Our Time -- such a broad range of topics, highly recommend for a browse. ~45 minutes, usually a conversation with three or so experts in a given field, hard to get depth but excellent surveys of topics that you might not have encountered.

Fall of Civilizations -- 2-4 hour histories of various societies.

History of Napoleon -- I like to have a long-form on the go, this is my current one. Adds a lot of context to modern Europe. Previously History of Rome.

Non-tech / news / business:

The Guardian Long Read - excellent long-form investigatory journalism from my favourite news source

The Guardian Today in Focus - analysis of news topics; keeps me up to date

Wall Street Breakfast - Recent headlines on financial markets by Seeking Alpha

Does anyone know a good podcast about climate change, renewables, new technologies that are being tested etc.? Something without all this technobabble about making "green" solutions that act mainly as solutions to get VCs money. I would like something honest, preferably from people who really care and know what they are talking about.

Hey, made an account to respond to you. Check out The Energy Gang. My favorite podcast in this space. I think it meets your requirements. I listen to every episode and can’t recommend it enough

Hi, thank you so much, I really appreciate it!

Skimmed through the episode titles, looks like there is some meat inside, will give it a go tonight.

It's kind of amazing to me how important this topic is and how much fake or dishonest info floats around, seems like so many people are just virtue signalling and care mostly about making profit off of it.

[3] used to be decent but it‘a really turned into quantity over quality. He podcasts every day, but it’s filled with ads and promotions.
