I started to listen to podcasts during my daily workouts and I quite enjoy the experience! Some of my favorites are Lex Fridman Podcast [0] and Darknet Diaries [1].

Any other suggestions?

Not tech-related, but “Conversations with Tyler”, Tyler Cowen (of Marginal Revolution’s) podcast[1]. It’s consistently thought-provoking and he has some amazing guests on.

If you are interested in investing in stocks, Joseph Carlson is a nice podcast. I would recommend starting from first few episodes, after some basics you might switch to recent videos. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCbta0n8i6Rljh0obO7HzG9A

60 Songs that Explain the 90s

The podcast is from a music critic who works his way to the title song by showing how other songs influenced the title song, or the band who made it. It’s been so good they expanded it to 90 episode.

Intelligence Matters is pretty amazing. Former Interim CIA Director interviews people from all over the Intelligence Community and related private entities/think tanks to discuss global happenings. Really insightful stuff, a valuable peek into "the establishment."

Probably Rick Rubin talking to Tom Jones on Broken Record. I also dug the five hour John Carmack interview, but you’ve certainly already heard that one.

On going:

The Arms Control Wonk. It's event driven so there is not a regular schedule. It's really detailed in an area I don't know well but very Accessible

ChinaTalk

Insightful discussion of everything from Australias new nuclear subs to WeChat to the inside story of those who fall from grace in the CCP.

Limited Series

The Bomb. The story of espionage around nuclear secrets during and after ww2. Really compelling true events type thing.

Making Sense with Sam Harris. There are so many good podcast episodes. If you don’t like the first one you listen to, browse the list of episodes. There’s a ton of evergreens.
