A Tradition of Violence [0]

Cerise Castle is doing some blockbuster investigative journalism on gangs operating within the LA Sheriff's department. She blew this open with written articles last year. [1]

This has been one of the best shows I've listened to. There are (I think) four episodes remaining in the series.

Risky Business podcast ( https://risky.biz/ ) is by far the best InfoSec news podcast in my opinion. As far as a single episode, I really enjoyed this Lex Fridman podcast with John Carmack: https://lexfridman.com/john-carmack/

I'll second Fridman + Carmack. Probably the one podcast episode that everyone in this community would enjoy. Carmack is quite the inspiring character, and Lex's obvious reverence of him was a joy to experience.

The other podcast I frequent is econtalk, mostly because I find Russ to be thoughtful and he's a good steelmanner for libertarian and Friedmanist arguments I commonly disagree with.

The Moth (story telling) Planet Money (economics and finance intersecting with everything else) Heavyweight (investigate lost connections)

+100 to Heavyweight, it's my favorite podcast. Each one is like a little gem.

More tech related, and excellent podcasts:

Offline, a new-ish podcast from Crooked (the Pod Save America guys). It has a very anti silicon valley agenda that is sometimes annoying but there are some excellent interviews there.

Hard Fork, a tech news podcast from NYT, that gives a nice weekly roundup and some deeper dives on the week's drama in tech, in a mostly funny manner.

Not tech related although often touching on AI:

If you're interested in bootstrapping and indie hacking I can also recommend:

I really enjoy this one - https://callingbullshitpodcast.com/episodes/ It is about the gap between companies' stated goals and their actual behavior.

Citations needed - https://citationsneeded.libsyn.com/ I think I found it on HN. Well worth your time

Behind the bastards - exactly what it says on the title. Every episode is about a shitty human being (some alive, most dead). Listen to the episodes on Henry Kissinger - it is a crime he was given the Nobel peace prize

This Is Important

It's just the Workaholics guys podcast where they riff on whatever for an hour but I just relate to them and their sense of humor a lot being around the same age and their nostalgic angle of the 90s/2000s on everything.
