I'll admit, i'm an NPR junkie. They have a push this month to get people to promote their
podcasts, so i'm going to do that here. In no particular order, here are some of the podcasts I listen to:
Wait Wait Dont' Tell Me
Basically the weekly show in podcast form
Ask me Another
Basically the weekly show in podcast form
TED Radio Hour
Clips of TED talks, usually a few minutes of 3-4 per episode, all on a common theme, like "networks" or "The five senses"
Marketplace Morning Report
a ten minute report on economics, the stock market (primarily U.S.) and politics related to business
NPR Politics Podcast
a weekly discussion of recent events, with the occasion bonus episode when big news breaks
Planet Money
Interesting stories on money, the market, and economics. Last episode I heard was an economist gives advice on love and dating (it was REALLY interesting)
Make Me Smart
two people from NPR's Marketplace dive a little deeper into some of the week's political, economic, or tech industry stories
The Way I heard it with Mike Rowe
Very much like the old Paul Harvey "The Rest of the Story"
Hidden Brain
Shankar Vedantam stories about how the mind works, and how we THINK it works may not be correct
FiveThirtyEight Politics
Another group of folk talk about the weeks political stories
How I built this
Discussion with various company's founders, and basically, how they created these massive companies (Kate Spade, Sam Adams brewery, Lyft)
