Prefer real academics to the intellectual dark web.
There are plenty of podcasts by academics.

#122I gave up listening to podcasts for education. I found after a certain point - it gave little reward. There’s only so many topics you can know about that people want to discuss.
For now - I listen to podcasts that are more humorous than anything because I feel like I always need to keep my edge with humor and I like funny stuff. So I am a premium member of TMG Studios. I also listen to Forehead Fables and their new dungeons and dragons podcast (die of laughter).
I’m kinda done with the whole “I must always be learning every waking moment” thing. Sometimes being in a better mood from laughing is far more productive than any bullshit you’ll pick up from a podcast.

#124BBC More or Less Behind the Stats. Making sense of the numbers that surround us. BBC The Life Scientific - talks with leading scientists about their life and work. BBC In Our Time - the ideas, people, and events that have shaped our world. The History of English. The History of England. … and an embarrassingly high number of True Crime podcasts.
Please do share the true crime ones.

Re: Ask HN: What podcasts are you listening to?
#126BBC 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 t…
In our time is great, lately the topics have been kinda meh for me, but thats one I been sticking with. I miss the old times when I could hear the guys weird breathing in the microphone

#127Recently got into The Adam Friedland Show, an excellent center-left podcast with commentary on current events, history, media, and art.
Really great to see fans of Adam here, the work he is doing is amazing. I am hoping he would do some more tech themed topics, or maybe even a Tinder-advice / online dating related topic. I live in Israel by the way.

#128I listen to a lot of podcast episodes (over 5,000 in the past 5 years [1]), but I don’t subscribe to podcasts. The way I listen to podcasts is similar to how I consume web contents: Search by topics/people, and Find podcast episodes to listen, then move on, not subscribing to podcasts. Search by topics/people, and Find web pages to read, then move on, not bookmarking websites. For podcast recommendations, I’d suggest…
This response is annoying since it didn't answer the OP's question and instead just promoted your own product.
I get sharing your stuff when it's relevant, but couldn't you at least share some podcasts you've enjoyed before pitching your site?

#129How I Built This - founder stories Risky Business - news from the cybers Darknet Diaries - tales from the dark side of the internet (for h4x0rs)
I love HIBT. I’ve listened to 400+ episodes and regularly have to stop listening because I’m so motivated.
Same here. Guy is a great interviewer.
