Ask YC: Recommended Podcasts and Video Shows?

6 points by babyshake ↗ HN
To better manage my time, I'm trying to purge the South Parks and Aqua Teens from my life in favor of more "complex carbohydrate" material.

I think everyone could benefit from suggestions.

To start things off, I'm a big fan of WNYC's Radiolab podcast. Every one I've heard has been fascinating, and well-produced.

iTunes U - it has great resources from many top Us - not just classroom material, but great talks, etc.

Be sure to checkout Stanford's Entrepreneurship section! Also, research channel (also on iTunes) exposes some incredible academia work - kids, this is a great place for your idea hunting on the next big thing (why read when you can watch them present?)

a short subset of my podcast list:

this american life

security now

TWIT

TWIS

the sound of young america

jordan jesse go

never not funny

car talk

they're all a little more entertainment-centric, but i like to split my mind like that when working.

How does replacing one entertainment with another equate to better time management?

I can understand wanting higher quality entertainment than South Park, but don't fool yourself into thinking an NPR podcast is a better use of time if it is likewise distracting you from things you need to do.

A podcast is a recorded radio show or the sort that is published via RSS usually.
