I have been listening to Partially Derivative and Talking Machines, both data science related. Talking Machines is more industry focused whereas Partially Derivative is more fun. Also Reply All, a show about the Internet. Non tech I listen to the History of Philosophy podcast.

I was very sad to hear Will Smith is leaving 'This is Only a Test' & Tested but am happy to hear he is still going to be on 'Still Untitled'
Don't forget Dan Carlin's Hardcore History!

Oh I listen to Stanford Entrepreneurial Thought Leaders too! Great stuff there for sure
Haven't seen these mentioned yet:

- Escape Pod (SF short stories)

- Risky Business (hilariously sarcastic infosec news and interviews)

- Savage Lovecast (sex and relationship from "America's only advice columnist")

- Intelligence Squared (Oxford-style debates on current topics)

Not hating, long time fan, real long time... But have you noticed a downward drop in quality from the Escape Pod family of casts? I mean it's free, so I'm not complaining, but it makes it hard to listen to.
Their narrators? Yeah, it's possible - there have been a few stories in the past year that were just unlistenable due to either poor recording quality or just a terrible voice.

On the other hand, when Steve Eley read everything, that wasn't great either.

I've also found it useful to download YouTube videos and convert them to MP3s so I can listen to them later.

Some of the channels I've subscribed to are:

GoogleTechTalks https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCtXKDgv1AVoG88PLl8nGXmw

Harvard Business Review https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCWo4IA01TXzBeGJJKWHOG9g

Talks at Google https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCbmNph6atAoGfqLoCL_duAg

TED Talks

I just (try to) follow one now - Talking Machines. They have great content on ML, esp contemporary work. Each episode leads to enough followup on the material that I don't have much time to follow another podcast :)
