    I started this thread because I wanted to point out a podcast my wife found that I have found fascinating. Several VC (venture capital ) guys give their takes on finance, economics , geopolitics etc. You get a set of views and insights not found in other places.



    All-In with Chamath, Jason, Sacks & Friedberg


    Aside from that, in my rotation

    NY times Daily
    WSJ podcast
    Economist podcasts
    Bari Weiss Honestly
    Marketplace
    Sam Harris
    Freakonomics
    Ezra Klein show
    Against the rules - Michael Lewis
    Revisionist History - Malcolm gladwell
    Planet Money
    The Dishcast - Andrew Sullivan
    Cover 3- college football
    Fareed Zaharia - GPS
    Fresh air - NPR




    I don’t consistently listen to them all but they are in my rotation along with a few others.

    Good list, although I wouldn't listen to Bari Weiss. Too many to list for me. I subscribe to over 50 current podcasts. I obviously don't listen to all episodes. Have to decide.

    No politics or news podcasts. I sometimes listen to podcasts related to audio & music production, but not regularly.

    I’ve enjoyed Old Gods of Appalachia.

    My main two are Casefile (about murder) and Jocko Willink. I mostly watch YouTube short videos during the day. Mr. Ballen has a great channel.

    I originally majored in Biology before I changed to Physics, so always had a curiousity without pretending to have significant knowledge. However, reading/analyzing data is the same regardless of field, so I find it pretty straightforward to follow along.

    Its pretty audio-booky, so I can see that if you are into more conversational podcasts where its not just someone talking at you for hours on end. I'm not a Carlin obsessive, but when he covers a topic I'm interested in, I usually listen to it eventually.

    We have overlapping interests. I added some to my list I forgot.

    While Bari Weiss can be annoying on her fixation on cancel culture and related topics, she does have so some very good ones. The last one discussion Republicans and their 2020 election fantasy was pretty enlightening.

    Unbelievable? - Discussions between various Christians and non-Christians
    Soteriology 101

    For years I subscribed to The Economist online and listened to the audio version, but let my subscription lapse this year because it was too much to listen to every week.

    Also just finished my 105th audiobook in seven years.

    podcasts like that may be good for long trips like you mentioned. I probably just need to figure out where to start.
