Entertainment & Music Best Podcasts

Just finished listening to Caliphate. Wow.
I have a lot to do with Yazidi people in Australia so this hit home.

Also listened to Teachers Pet a few weeks ago. A bit repetitve but obviously very effective as they've just dug up around the pool area again - finally. I guess they'll have to look in the bush now.

Both are very disturbing so make sure you have the time and space for them.

Any more recommendations?

 

1. Econtalk with Russ Roberts. Chicago school guy, recent episode on Solzhenitsyn .
2. Joe Rogan. Recent with Elon Musk who gets hammered on set, still smart .
3. Inourtime with Melvyn Bragg. BBC Podcast . Recent on the Gin Craze in London late 1800s , maybe earlier.

 

Awesome, seems like you have a similar taste in Podcasts to myself. I will be adding some of those to my list.

MyPodcasts:

- RealEstateTalk
- Aussie Waves (A good one for Aus history)
- Behind the *******s (I second Wylie's recommendation here)
- Freakenomics
- Pod Save the World
- Stuff You Should Know
- The Inquiry (BBC)
- The Money (ABC)
- Today Explained
- Vox The Weeds
- Vox Worldly
- Caliphate
- Philosophise This

 

Joe Rogan! Train by day, Joe Rogan podcast by night, all day.

He has a good mix of guests - I've been listening to him for years. I'm a bit of a fanboy.

Cheers

Behind the *******s is great.

 

I'm starting to get to the point where I have more podcasts I subscribe to and want to listen to than I have the time to listen to them.

 

+1 for Serial

 

+1 for Joe Rogan.

Such an obsessive guy, which I relate with. Just loves hobbies and then gets in guests. Steven Tyler, Mel Gibson, Cameron Hanes, Elon Musk, Billy Corgan.... The list goes forever.

 

Hey what App do you all use?
Thx

 

I really liked S town. Have a listen you wont be dissapointed

 

Lost in Larrimah

 

Is use Pocket Cast on both the desktop and mobile, seamless handover between both so can listen at work then pick up where left off on the mobile.

Heaps of others but those are the ones I listen to most.

 

Good question (see Propogate above).
but I find I don't even need an app - it's all ready to go on the sites.

Looks like a few heavy-weights mut've been listening to Teacher's Pet with old mate today arrested.

 

I use Castbox.

No particular reason, first one I found when I switched to android, and it works.

 

The Dollop is great value for a laugh as well as learning some random history (usually American however, there are some good live shows from Australia).

In no particular order

=Hidden Forces (by Demetri Kofanis). Full access to this podcast is around $15 a month on Patreon although the first hour of Demetri's 2 hour episodes is free to all users. I guess that seems a little rich but on the other hand we live in a culture were nobody wants to pay for podcast content. This podcast really is up there with Sam Harris' in terms of quality for me, and the meticulous research Demetri puts into every episode is apparent, so a subscription fee is justified imo)
=The Economist Podcast (seriously, if The Economist was everyone's only news source the world would be a much better place).
=Making Sense with Sam Harris
=Conversations with Coleman Hughes
=Rational Reminder Podcast (finance)
=The Property Couch Podcast
=Pod Save America
