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

I was so bummed when they ended the Heavyweight podcast and made it a Spotify exclusive. It was one of the very few shows I would have conversations with people about the day after it dropped.

As an aside, I really wish Lex Fridman would make his interviews shorter and edit them a bit. Plus, I'm not trying to diss him but genuinely asking - he's not a particularly remarkable or interesting or entertaining interviewer (he's okay, and smart, but nothing out of the ordinary), how did he become such a prominent podcaster?

Revolutions podcast by Mike Duncan. The series is wrapping up after almost a decade, and the 13 appendix episodes he's just finished releasing are a great summary of the causes, courses, and effects of revolutions throughout history. https://thehistoryofrome.typepad.com/revolutions_podcast/ The Prince by Sue-Lin Wong of the Economist. 10 episodes, but see also the followup weekly podcast from them called Drum Tower.…

I've been listening to EconTalk since 2007. It's one of the only podcasts that I never skip an episode, even if the topic or author doesn't initially seem too interesting.

Great to hear you are a fan. A long time one albeit. Its been interesting seeing Russ Roberts evolve over the years. His interests have moved from quantitative to qualitative questions. What makes for a good life? What makes us happy? What gives us meaning? How should one conduct themselves? The harder questions in life. Questions that are difficult to articulate. Difficult to measure. But are vital to identify, because the economic policies we pursue mold our world which can either facilitate or hinder these interests.

Can you give a link to "Heavyweight"? I searched for it in my podcast app but there are loads of results - I'm not sure which one you're talking about

Yeah, Spotify only nowadays. I don't have a subscription, though, so you can still listen to it for free.
