Planet Money

The Security Weekly podcast

Hardcore History is amazing. The only problem is that you pick up homework assignments from all of the books referenced.

I used to listen to This American Life, but it gets a little annoying if you overdo it.

If there are any Arabic listeners I'd recommend a podcast I cohost called Hyperlink: http://hyperstage.net/category/podcasts/hyperlink/.

Quick taste from the last ep: https://soundcloud.com/hyperstage/105a

(currently we have some issues with iTunes so SoundCloud is the place to follow)

I listen to a lot of the LessWrong works via castify (including their audio books which cover a great deal of of Yudkowsky's sequences): http://castify.co/channels/51-less-wrong

I also use them for ConversionsXL: http://castify.co/channels/47-conversionxl

During my commutes I enjoying listing to these non-tech specific podcasts:

This American Life - http://www.thisamericanlife.org/

Try this one: http://www.thisamericanlife.org/radio-archives/episode/441/w..., about Patent Trolls to get hooked.

Radio Lab - http://www.radiolab.org/

Try this one: http://www.radiolab.org/story/193037-turing-problem/ about Alan Turing.

Snap Judgement - http://snapjudgment.org/

Good old fashion stories that are all over the place.

For those of you wanting to escape the tech/entrepreneurship echo chamber, why not check out the BBC's "In Our Time". Consistently high quality, diverse discussion about all sorts of subjects. http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b006qykl
