Ask HN: What podcasts do you recommend?

3 points by netrus 9y ago ↗ HN

Within the last year, I started to spend more time listening to podcasts than I watch TV or listen to linear Radio. What are your favorites? Tech or not, English or other languages.

My current favorites include some well known stuff: Planet Money Freakonomics Recode/Decode NPR From Scratch Tell me Something I Don't Know (New show by Stephen Dubner) [GER] Zwischen Hamburg und Haiti - Weekly Travel Reports

Smart Passive Income by Pat Flynn!

He interviews various entrepreneurs.

It's of a high quality and he goes really deep with his questions. An episode is usually around 45 minutes.

kinda feel like there's so many quality podcasts out there, that this is increasingly hard to answer. Favourites from me at the moment :

codepen.io podcast - nuts and bols of how codepen is run.

Starship Sofa - SciFi stories

Tales to Terrify - Horror stories.

The Allusionist - podcast about etymology of words.

Reply All - Internet focused podcast. Very fun.

The Bike Shed - developer podcast

Richard Herring's RHLSTP - Interviews with comedians

No such thing as a Fish - Weird facts comedy podcast

"linux action show" is a good one for linux (duh) related stuff, plus it has a huge backlog!

"stuff you missed in history class" is very informative and great for listening to when walking or taking the bus.

"how I built this", which also by npr just started, but it's essentially interviews with successful business people.
