I usually just listen to Reply All. I'm looking for something I'd enjoy just as much


Darknet Diaries: True stories from the dark side of the Internet

This is a podcast about hackers, breaches, shadow government activity, hacktivism, cybercrime, and all the things that dwell on the hidden parts of the network.

https://darknetdiaries.com/



Dan Carlin's Hardcore History - Excellent podcast about history. The 'Prophets of Doom' episode is my favourite.

Darknet Diaries - Hacking / technology.

Planet Money - Short episodes on economics and money

Acquired - Analysis of Companies

Tim Ferris Show - He interviews interesting people. Hit or miss for me.

Lex Fridman - High quality interviewees but Lex Fridman is hit or miss.

Joe Rogan Experience - Plenty of great episodes. Episodes vary dramatically in quality.


On the Metal: tales from the hardware/ software interface

Interviews conducted by Jessie Frazelle, Steve Tuck, and Brian Cantrill of the newly formed Oxide Computer Company with prolific engineers from hardware / software. People from companies like Sun and SGI telling war stories and having good discussions about the state of things today.

Personal favorite is the Jonathan Blow interview.


Unnamed Reverse Engineering Podcast - it focuses mainly on reverse engineering hardware and firmware. I haven't done any non-trivial reverse engineering projects and even the ones I have done are software but I still find it super interesting.

Darknet Diaries - Podcast revolving around hackers/hacks/etc

Malicious Life - Podcast centered around historical hacks or malware.

Advent of Computing - about the history of computer and computer related technology

ClojureScript Podcast - about clojurescript

Indie Hackers - interviews with indie startup founders

Revolutions - detailed history of various revolutions throughout history. Currently on the revolutions of Russia.

TechStuff - episodes on various tech related topics



Talk Python To Me is a really good tech podcast. It manages to almost always have a really interesting guest.

https://talkpython.fm/


This doesn’t get picked up on Spotify for some reason so I always forget to check my other app for it - but great show


It's quite rare for me to watch/listen to tech related stuff (I prefer written words). However, I'm going through "Teaching Python" https://www.teachingpython.fm/ as one of the ways to improve myself as a writer (and the occasional workshops).


Programming throwdown. A long running podcast that started with a programming language each show and has branched out to a lot of cool topics. I really like the tool of the show too.

For early YC history, Justin Kan's convos with Steve Huffman and Michael Seibel have a real college reunion vibe ;)

Masters of scale - "how companies grow from zero to a gazillion, testing his theories with legendary leaders" https://mastersofscale.com/


Soft Skills podcast never fails to brighten my day - https://softskills.audio/


This week in ML/AI (TWIMLAI)

Software Engineering Daily

History of Philosophy without any gaps

If I Were You, very funny advice podcast


Nick's non fiction: Young kid does a book review weekly, very underated.


I like the following, perhaps you already know them but if you don't, I recommend them: (1) Lex Fridman: https://lexfridman.com/podcast/ (My favorite) (2) Fullstack-radio: https://fullstackradio.com/ (3) Company forensics: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/company-forensics-slid... (4) The Undefined Podcast: https://undefined.fm/ (5) Signal vs Noise: https://m.signalvnoise.com/

It's not tech related by I listen to JRE as well quite often.


While sometimes the Lex Fridman conversations are really great, sometimes I find myself wondering if Lex is a smart guy who pretends to be dumb, or a dumb guy who pretends to be smart.


I enjoy embedded.fm


Screaming in the Cloud

Deconstructor of Fun
