LEX FRIDMAN - Lex interviews many guests about a particular topic/interest in a row and then releases several episodes on the matter, e.g, artificial intelligence, bitcoin, war, love, etc. TIM FERRISS - Long-time fan, and I believe this was one of the shows that encouraged me to start my own podcast. He's interested in learning methods from top-performers and dissect them in the show so you can get actionable advice.…

Had to scroll so down to find Lex's name recommended. But he is just awesome.

There is something about Lex. He isn't the most entertaining fluently speaking host, but the guests. Oh my! He has a standard. That's what I love

For tech things, I like Joe Ressington's podcasts[1] (e.g. Late Night Linux, 2.5 Admins) and Saron Yitbarek's[2] (e.g. Command_Line Heroes, Code Newbie).

And on the darker side of tech, the podcast Tech Won't Save Us[3] is really excellent (and prolific).

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 t…

I could not find any podcast called “History of Napoleon”. Did you perhaps mean “The Age of Napoleon”?

The Knowledge Project All In Conversations with Tyler Lex Friedman Tim Ferris Show Bankless Hardcore History I find that with most podcasts you have good and bad episodes. Also even really medicore podcasts often have 1 or 2 really good episodes.

All in has been a lot of fun

Linus tech tips. Even if just for the entertainment. Probably not the answer you expected. I listen to it because its totally apolitical without a hint either way of the political spectrum, focuses on tech alone, and is fun listening to. Thats how tech pod/youtube casting should be. Oh and any podcast carmack is speaking on. That guy’s even more spot on how tech talks should be. No selling, no politics, just pure awe…

I like his content, but his persona is obnoxious and bratty.

My top ones would be: Tech: - Kubernetes Podcast from Google - O11ycast - The Kubelist podcast Non Tech: - Exploring the Lord of the Rings - Tolkien with lots of Dad Jokes - The Prancing Pony Podcast - Tolkien line by line - The Song of Urania - History of Astronomy

Seconded on the prancing pony. It's a nice break from reality.

Why are you trying to build a habit of consuming media? Some people just don't care for them. That said, I listen to ATP, Comedy Bang Bang, and Roderick in the Line regularly. Much less than when I used to drive a car. It's entertainment, nothing more.

I'd say not all media is "bad". Much of the podcast suggestions in these comments are wholesome, or at least teach the listener something. That'd on a whole good, better than mindlessly listening to ads or news on the radio?
