Microwave Posted May 17, 2014 Posted May 17, 2014 So at work I'm allowed to listen to podcasts, and I've pretty much grinded through every episode of everything I'm subscribed to. I'll post below my subscriptions so you can get an idea of what I'm interested in, but basically anything that's somewhat entertaining and that'll make me think. I'd really appreciate other suggestions. Thanks! Freedomain Radio (of course) Hardcore History Common Sense The Thinking Atheist Stuff You Should Know
Clay Posted May 17, 2014 Posted May 17, 2014 I'm a big fan of the Joe Rogan experience and penn's sunday school. Both have some educational value, but are more geared toward entertainment.

aFireInside Posted May 17, 2014 Posted May 17, 2014 I haven't been listening to anything lately but i can give some suggestions on some podcast i use to listen a few months ago. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- To keep up to date with technology: TechStuff & CarStuff To learn about interesting economic concepts: Freakonomics podcast To keep up to date with video games: Podcast Beyond ----------------------------------------------------------------------- There is a limit to what I can listen to before trying to apply some of the knowledge i gained to better my life.
Canoe_Captain Posted May 17, 2014 Posted May 17, 2014 Singularity 1 on 1 A series of podcast interviews with the best scientists, writers, entrepreneurs, film-makers, journalists, philosophers and artists, debating the technological singularity.
fractional slacker Posted May 21, 2014 Posted May 21, 2014 A few of my favorites: Already mentioned, School Sucks. Great show. Guy has a nice voice.The Jason Lewis Show - IMO the best terrestrial talk show around. Lewis is for practical purposes a volunteerist, but to maintain credibility with his core audience -libertarian conservative religious types- he plays the role of minarchist. A good show to stay up to date on current events. This American Life - high production value with interesting human experience stories. Unfortunately they only list the last few shows for free now. It used to be you could get shows from years ago in the archives, but they now make you pay for that service. Radio Lab - another high quality NPR production. The show mixes science with the humam experience. honorable mention Modern Manners Guy - silly and fun show about the rituals of navigating thru the maze of culture exectations
Panacea27 Posted May 21, 2014 Posted May 21, 2014 I've enjoyed listening to the Dr. Drew podcast. He is very skeptical of the psychiatric industry and the reliance on medication. I remember him explicitly saying that all serious addicts have a history of childhood trauma and it is fascinating to listen to him go into depth with people's personal lives very intelligently from a medical perspective. Doug Stanhope's podcast is very funny even if he does tend to glamourize alcoholism. He has been open in his criticism of Dr. Drew for strongly advocating for a fundamentally religious program in AA. What do you do that allows you to listen to podcasts at work? I would be so much more caught up if I had that luxury!
Carl Green Posted May 21, 2014 Posted May 21, 2014 Weird Medicine with Doctor Steve. It's essentially a medical show where people call in/ write in questions about medical issues. Often issues they'd rather not ask their personal physician. Original, entertaining, and informative.
Microwave Posted May 26, 2014 Author Posted May 26, 2014 Thanks for all the great suggestions; I've subscribed to each one, and will give each a test run to see how I like it. Btw, I do restoration work on houses after fires, floods, mold, etc. Most of the time though I'm in a warehouse cleaning everything from the damaged house and preparing it to go back to the house after reconstruction. Listening to podcasts at work is great because the time goes by quicker and I'm basically getting paid to learn.
shirgall Posted May 31, 2014 Posted May 31, 2014 I listen to the No Agenda show with Adam Curry and John C Dvorak. http://www.noagendashow.com/ I also subscribe to Peter Schiff's show. http://www.schiffradio.com/
sash1986 Posted June 9, 2014 Posted June 9, 2014 Hi Microwave Another suggestion might be http://anarchast.com/ He actually had Stef on his podcast some time ago
