Ask HN: Favorite podcasts?

Particularly Analog(ue) which is a show specifically about "feelings" http://www.relay.fm/analogue/

This American Life - Probably the most popular podcast with a long history and an impressive track record of exciting stories.

The Bike Shed - new Ruby/Rails-related podcast from thoughtbot, really like it.

Pragmatic - in-depth coverage of certain technical topics.

The Truth - fictional stories, very good writing, high production values. Feels like audio-only, high quality short films.

Although they don't have a huge tech focus, for anyone even remotely interested in either a.) bootstrapped businesses, or b.) travel --- it is the best podcast I know about.

Turns out bootstrapping and travel are naturally synergistic. For bootstrapping you want to minimize burn rate. With travel, you can live (reasonably) comfortably somewhere like Thailand or Bali for 6 months to 1 year off of only ~1K per month as you get your new venture off the ground.

After listening to this podcast for a year I've lived in Shenzhen, China, Ubud, Bali (Indonesia) and Taipei, Taiwan while doing remote Rails consulting to build up a warchest.

So far its been the best experience of my life and I never would have done it without listening to this podcast to hear about all the other people who have done the same.
