What are your favorite podcasts for learning? Science, tech, philosophy, arts, etc
I probably learn more from Bankless than anything else in my feed.
The rest is history The Changelog Zero knowledge Sean Carroll’s mindscape Strong songs
Lex. His way of digging into things to get real understanding is better for learning than surface-level explainers
Conversations with Tyler Lunar Society Lenny’s podcast
Huberman Labs - practical physiology UpOnly - lots of banter but also many insights on trading The Portal - contrarian perspectives from smart people

The Green Pill has a lot of interesting speakers on the fringes of web3 that overlaps with all the above subjects
I think Huberman is wildly underrated - the mixture of science, depth and relevance is off the charts.
My film/tv top picks: - Brian Koppelman’s The Moment (Billions co-creator) - Video Archive w/ Quentin Tarantino & Roger Avary - Bret Easton Ellis pod on Patreon (Less than Zero, American Psycho author) - Scriptnotes by John August (Big Fish) & Craig Mazin (Chernobyl)
Masters of scale How to take over the world The great creators (guy raz) Business wars More low key options.
All In Deep Questions with Cal Newport Security. Cryptography. Whatever. My First Million Tascha Labs Podcast web3 with a16z UpOnly
besides huberman, tim ferris & bankless daily stoic, making sense, the one you feed, interdependence, founders, invest like the best, okay computer, conversation w/ tyler are a few.
Most underrated by far is How to Take Over the World. Incredible profiles on major leaders throughout history, from Caesar to Steve Jobs to Putin. Also love: TF Show Lex Invest like the Best The Next Big Idea On the Brink (for crypto news) web3 with a16z 😉
1) Starting Greatness - Mike Maples/Floodgate 2) Lochhead on Marketing - Christopher Lochhead
Founders by David Serna Love how he actually digs into the best entrepreneurs in history and what they thought about themselves/their journey.
Some I’ve been listening to lately: Tim ferris Lex Huberman labs
Knowledge project, elucidations, zero knowledge, the generalist, I pledge allegiance, lex, huberman, happiness lab
Not Overthinking - super thoughtful discussion on relationships, social interactions, and philosophy Revisionist History - really good at surfacing interesting moments/phenomena + Malcolm gladwell is awesome
- Huberman - Lex - All In - Joe Rogan - Tim Ferris - Bankless - Good Time Show @aarthi and @sriramk
Hardcore History by Dan Carlin though for the war history niche. Very fair recollection that is interesting without having to ever lean on “good vs evil” narratives
The knowledge project Time Sensitive Interdependence
been listening to this one for years: https://historyofphilosophy.net/ by a philosophy prof teaching in the UK, its awesome and goes deep
Ooo! I love this. Thank you for kicking this off. Love other suggestions in comments so much. Making Sense with Sam Harris The Knowledge Project with Shane Parrish The Partially Examined Life Overpriced JPEGs by @carlypreilly Bankless
NPR: How I Built This I just love hearing stories about peoples lives. I also love that nearly every guest contributes luck as one of the main drivers for their success.

Steve Hsu has a great podcast called Manifold One. https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/manifold/id1606914086
Tim ferris is an excellent blend of all of those (sci, tech, philosophy)
On another (related) note: discovery for podcasts is an unresolved problem. I get my best recommendations word of mouth or via questions like these.
This thread is very illuminating. Unsurprisingly a lot of similar listenership from the FC community. Some consistent mentions: -Huberman -All In -Lex -Acquired -How I Built This
The History of Rome, by Mike Duncan. Most grok-able and vivid historical arc I've consumed. He thought it would be a few episodes and ended up w/179. Audio quality improves after first few. https://overcast.fm/+aLSWL-SeU
