Unlike many of my friends I’m not that into podcasts. There are a few good ones that I used to listen to pre-pandemic on my short commute to work. Now that I’m going back to the office on a more regular cadence I have dusted those off and catching up.
I’m looking to explore and expand my list, but not finding much success. Most of the podcasts these days seem to be groups of people informally chatting about their opinions on trending topics. Don’t get me wrong, some days those are quite enjoyable. My biggest issue is that often episodes are hour plus and the knowledge I’m deriving is not much for the amount of time I put in. Also it is also hard to separate expert opinions from casual commentary. If you are having better luck, do share your list.
Here is my list in no particular order:
