Joe Rogan
Adam Carola
Dan Carlin’s Harcore History

Civilize the mind, but make savage the body.

- Chinese proverb

Thanks, I'd queued up Rogan and Carlin already.

So how does it work, you subscribe to a podcast and on your subscription page you'll see the latest for each podcast, which you can then stream (or do you have to download)? What happens with old episodes, i.e. a podcast you want to listen to from the beginning like Serial, do you download them to the phone and if so is there a fee?

I second Hardcore History

Also:

Money for the Rest of Us

All Songs Considered

Mortification of Spin

Freedom just around the corner for you. But with the truth so far off, what good will it do?

Here are a few of my favorites:

• Beautiful/Anonymous
• On Being with Krista Tippett (the raw, unedited conversations are interesting)
• RadioLab
• Revisionist History with Malcolm Gladwell
• TED Radio Hour and TED Talks Daily
• The Moth
• You Made It Weird with Pete Holmes
• StoryCorps

There are others I enjoy that are more tuned to my specific interests (philosophy, progressive theology, (a)theistic-theism, literature, meditation), but the ones above are shows that reach to the human spirit, stories, or humor and hold more universal appeal.

I like Hardcore History and Waking Up with Sam Harris. The latter has interesting discussions but I find Sam Harris a bit hard to take except in small doses.

Embedded has a series this season on Trump past business dealings. Spoiler: He's an asshole.

Planet Money. Not too long, very clear, and entertaining explanations on money/economics

Hidden Brain

Agree with others on Hardcore history. They are very long though. I've been slowly making my way through WWI.

I usually download my podcast to a small Sansa MP3 player. So when I am working or working out it is light, out of the way and they are easy to fast forward through commercials. If I am in the car I find the podcast and play it on the phone.



Ben Shapiro Fastest growing conservative podcast. He seems more balanced than the rest. Ben is no fan of Trump but will acknowledge when he does something right. Some podcast I will increase the speed of play. Like for example Leo Laporte (The Tech guy) He has good stuff but takes along time to get to a point so I up the speed of play. You will never have to do this with Shapiro's.

Clark Howard- He can be a little repetitive, But when you are tired of hearing so much neg. stuff he will brighten your day with niceness.

http://superfangiovanni.com/ Old loveline episodes with Adam Carolla and Dr Drew. I think Adam was much funnier in the 80's and 90's than the constant complainer he is now. There is another realization I got from listening to the show. All the young kids that called into the show back then are now older adults. This explains why and where our society is going now - not good.


Freakonoamics


https://freedomainradio.com/ Stefan Molyneux covers a lot of philosophical topics - Conservative

Ted Talks

1. Very Bad Wizards. My favorite. Tamler Sommers and David Pizarro (professors at U of Houston and Cornell) discuss issues of ethics, cognitive psychology, etc., with lots of politically incorrect humor and anal jokes.
2. Rogan -- Already been mentioned, but I find it hit and miss. It really depends on the guest.
3. NPR replays from This American Life, Radiolab, Snap Judgment, Freakonomics.
4. Secular Buddhism, 10% Happier, OneMind, if you're into mindfulness.
5. The Ancient World and Religions of the Ancient Mediterranean, if you're into ancient religion from an historical perspective.
6. Sam Harris' Waking Up -- Also depends on the guest, and I get that he's not everyone's cup of tea.

Going to check those out, with the exception of Rogan. I just can't take him, and much like Sam Harris I pretty much agree with their perspectives on many things.

Maybe you already catch it on NPR but I like Marketplace. If I don't get it same day during the commute home I listen to it on headphones at lunch the next day.

Exchanges is sometimes good as well. It's a Goldman Sachs podcast that interviews various leaders within the firm. Not every episode is great but there's some decent content in there.

My faves in particular order:

1. Radiolab
2. This American Life
3. Quirks and Quarks (CBC General science show)
4. Under The Influence (CBC on marketing)
5. Revisionist History with Malcom Gladwell
6. Stuff you should know
7 stuff to blow your mind
8. Dan Carlin hardcore history
8. Audio books from YouTube. There are thousands and it's easy to rip them using a YouTube to mp3 rip site. Recent favorites
include: what If, edible history of humanity, a brief history of the world.... etc

Remember - It's important to be comfortable in your own skin... because it turns out society frowns on wearing other people's

For politics, Ben Shapiro is pretty solid. He talks a mile a minute so you cover a lot of content in a short period of time. Sam Harris is usually excellent, ranges from politics to tech issues like AI, neuroscience, philosophy, meditation, etc. Rogan, Carolla, and Mark Maron are all very good as well.

The devil made me do it the first time, second time I done it on my own - W

1) jocko podcast-former navy seal and jiujitsu blackbelt talks about leadership and summarizes books about different wars.

2)Dan Carlin's Hardcore History- range of historical topics.

3)History on Fire-Similar to Hardcore History

4)Martyr Made- covers the history of Israel/Palestine.

5)The Eastern Border-history of the soviet union.i am only two episodes in but it is good.

6) Joe Rogan-depends on the guest.

 
Serial is decent, she doesn't go far enough or in depth enough with a lot of it, but it is mildly entertaining.

A spin off of Serial is "Undisclosed". It started from the Adnan Syaed case that Serial examined only went much further into depth and is done by the lawyers that are trying to get him out. They proceeded to take on other cases and try to get people out. However, they unfortunately quickly changed from information seeking to political motive driven. They got a new cast of characters and examined the Freddie Gray case, I only made it through half an episode of those morons before I had to give it up. If they are back to the original crew it may be back to alright.

My favorite is the Around the NFL podcast. Dudes are downright hilarious and have great chemistry, lots of laughs and a bit of football mixed in.

The Forward can be good. It depends on the guest. Armstrong too quickly starts talking about himself sometimes. He had the Paul Mitchel guy once and it was very interesting.

The Art of Manliness can also be good. The name is cheesy, but the topics can be intriguing

My Dad Wrote a Porno is the funniest podcast I have listened to.
Stuff you should know
Stuff you missed in history class
Freakonomics

IM Talk is a great triathlon podcast.

Marc Maron has a good one and I like Gilbert Godfrey too. Always funny and upbeat.

I wont double up on others listed but ill add a few more i listen to:

The skeptics guide to the universe
Nerdist
The hillarious world of depression
Malicious life
Talk nerddy to me
Here we are

who's smarter than you're? i'm!

The Memory Palace - Short (10 minutes or so) vignettes about little-known--or little-known aspects of well-known--people and events in history, told with a focus on how the people in the story might've felt or what they might've thought. The host is Nate DiMeo, whose voice I love. Don't start with any episodes labeled "Met residency." Nate is artist-in-residence at the Met, and those episodes are meant to be experienced in the gallery in front of a particular picture. I prefer his regular episodes.

S-town - Faulkner-esque. From the makers of Serial, and fabulous.

Lots of good suggestions on this thread.

The only one I would add is Greg Proops' podcast, "the Smartest man in the World". Very very left leaning, but very entertaining.

I've listened to that, and I've listened to The Dollop. The Dollop is hands down funnier.

Although alt-right types won't enjoy some of its humour, I suppose.
