podcast recommendations

2024-03-11

podcasts are one of my favorite mediums. i mostly listen to an episode while getting ready in the morning, when driving, and when working out.

favorites

every few months, i'll try a new podcasting app for a week or so and these are the few podcasts i always add first. i support most of these shows on a recurring monthly basis:

• Making Sense With Sam Harris
• Dithering
• Conversations with Tyler
• Dwarkesh Podcast

solid podcasts

these are podcasts that i often listen to, but will skip if the episode doesn’t look particularly interesting. i maybe listen to ~40% of episodes:

• Decoder with Nilay Patel
• How Do You Use ChatGPT?
• The Peter Attia Drive
• REWORK
• Sharp Tech with Ben Thompson
• ToKCast
• Search Engine

news podcasts

while i rarely read the news, or follow news organizations online, i still enjoy listening to a couple podcast episodes about current events. i prefer the episodes that are long-form stories to the hot takes

my favorites are

• The Journal from the Wall Street Journal
• The Daily from the New York Times
• Up First from NPR
