Ask HN: Which podcasts do you listen to/watch?

Found this one very recently .

Podcast on PHP, Software Design and Testing, by @mathiasverraes and @everzet

https://soundcloud.com/elephantintheroom-io

Big favorite is Star Talk with Neil deGrasse Tyson, but for some reason of all the Podcasts I listen to the ads on that one seem to pull me out of the conversation the most.

I like Developing Perspective. It's about iOS Development and occasionally useful tips about running a small business.

http://developingperspective.com/

I regularly listen to:

* http://www.tropicalmba.com/

* http://www.siliconreal.com/

* http://fourhourworkweek.com/category/the-tim-ferriss-show/

* http://www.londonreal.tv/

The Truth - Mini Radio shows. Highly underrated. http://thetruthpodcast.com/Archives.html

If you're in to the history of Apple's software or Apple development in general, I can't recommend debug[0] enough.

[0] http://www.imore.com/debug/

http://99percentinvisible.org/ - Design focused, but interesting for anyone

http://atp.fm/ - Mac/iOS focused, but again, interesting for anyone

http://www.radiolab.org/ - General interest

http://autocomplete.fm/ - Android focused

For design related stuff I really only think Iterate has value http://www.imore.com/iterate

For startup related stuff a number of podcasts comes to mind.

"Startups for the rest of us" http://www.startupsfortherestofus.com/

Probably still most valuable podcast about bootstrapping I have ever listened too.

"Entrepreneurial Thought Leaders" From Stanford Often has some very interesting speakers.

"From Scratch" http://www.fromscratchradio.org/show/

Really good podcast about a wide variety of entrepreneurs (From etzy to atari, Thomas Keller, the guy who made Highline in Manhatten a reality etc) very inspiring.

"New Books in Big Ideas" http://newbooksinbigideas.com/ Sometimes really good but far between the gold nuggets.

What I haven't been able to find is a good podcast about Game design and good podcasts about Bitcoin/CryptoCurrency.

Most stuff in those two areas is either unbearable to listen to or filled with buzzwords.

If any has any indicator about the last two that would be greatly appreciated.

Entrepreneur On Fire

NPR Planet Money

Ted Radio Hour

Ted Talks Audio

All are informative, inspiring and great to listen to over a cup of coffee.

Norm MacDonald Live.

This one is turning out to be pretty good. [1]

Software Engineering Radio http://www.se-radio.net/

I don't listen to any of them. I won't bother with ones that don't have a transcript. I can read way faster than people can talk, and I hate not being able to skip around.

http://www.startupsfortherestofus.com/ has lots of good information for people bootstrapping and has a reasonable, if not perfect transcript.

* The Nerdist (comedy, but about half of the episodes have success stories so it kind of falls under entrepreneurship)

* The Tim Ferris Show

* The Ruby Rogues

* Functional Geekery

* The Smart Passive Income Podcast

* The Nathan Barry Show (very new)

* Mostly Erlang

Dan Carlin's Hardcore History(http://www.dancarlin.com/disp.php/hh) My favorite so far was the 13 hour series on the decline of the Roman republic. The parallels with current American politics were haunting.

Software engineering radio (The podcast for professional software developers) - http://www.se-radio.net/

Security Now with Steve Gibson and Leo Laporte http://twit.tv/sn

Freakshow (German, but best tech podcast I've found so far) http://freakshow.fm/

FLOSS Weekly http://twit.tv/show/floss-weekly

Logbuch: Netzpolitik (also German, but best Internet policy podcast I've found so far) http://logbuch-netzpolitik.de/

Of course I listen to many more non-tech related podcasts. What I noticed just now after going through my feed reader, is that I seem to be listening to about as many German ones as English ones, even though the total number of English podcasts out there should be higher.

The only reason I can think of is that (for whatever reason) German podcasters seem to concern themselves more with audio quality. For instance, I just can't listen to TWiST or the kalzumeus podcast, because the audio hurts my ears (at least with headphones on, car is a different matter). There are a bunch of English podcasts that I stopped listening to because of audio quality issues, while I can't remember a single German one for which this was the case.

Curious.

Rene Ritchie's vector is always a great listen. It goes beyond the usual rumors and leaks that most tech websites like engadget or gizmodo put and describes the choices of why this technology exists. http://www.imore.com/vector

He gets a bit of (admittedly deserved) criticism on HN, but Security Now with Steve Gibson is great for anyone who is interested in security and the like.

Ohh finally something for me You are not so smart - Very nice podcast about cognitive biases, psychology and so on. (Last episode I heard was about dangers of alternative medicine)

99 Percent Invisible - About design of everything. From architecture to industrial design. (Last episode was about fire escapes and their history)

Radiolab - Quite varied but always amazingly produced stories about science (Last one was about brain stimulation using electricity)

Freakonomics - Great podcast about economics, amazing life advice. (Last one was about how to "Make you garden weed itself")

Hello Internet - Two dudes talking genre. Brady (Numberphile and more) and CGP Gray. (Last one was about flags of states of USA, ugh Maryland)

Pragmatic - Also two dudes. But on topic of engineering. (Last was about programming in military)

I also recommend http://www.shiftyjelly.com/pocketcasts for listening. Really great app.
