       Ask HN: What podcasts are you listening to?
        
       I've tried building a habit to listen to podcasts but to no avail.
       I don't feel like I've found the right ones yet that fit into my
       sweet spot. I'm interested in a few topics: biographies, software
       design, and learning about advanced financial investing (e.g.
       private equity).  What are you listening to? Would love
       recommendations.

       | Somewhat related to your interests could be Planet Money,

       | For casual listening, I really like Connected, and Cortex, from
       | Relay FM--the former being an Apple-centric podcast, the latter
       | being anything productivity-adjacent, and co-hosted by CGP Grey.
       | 
       | For more niche, 'serious' interests, Peter Attia's podcast, The
       | Drive, and it's short-form counterpart, The Qualies, are
       | fantastic. Truly world-class conversations. Another in the same
       | league is Sam Harris' podcast, Making Sense.
       | 
       | Finally, for sheer entertainment value that intersects the world
       | of technology, Darknet Diaries has been a favourite for years.

       | Something without all this technobabble about making "green"

       | A suggestion I would have is treat the podcast a library to
       | choose from and not a subscription.
       | 
       | For example:
       | 
       | * maybe you don't love Marc Maron but you LOVE David Sedaris.
       | Just listen to that interview.
       | 
       | * maybe you hate news but you're curious about a specific current
       | event. See if "The Daily" has an episode on that.
       | 
       | I'd recommend finding high quality podcasts and looking through
       | their archive. There is no better podcast than hearing a high
       | quality operation like "This American Life" tell a story all
       | about one of your interests.
       | 
       | In that vein, I keep an eye on:
       | 
       | The daily
       | 
       | This American life
       | 
       | Today explained
       | 
       | Planet money
       | 
       | Marc Maron (he really pulls a lot out of people)
       | 
       | Those are super mainstream, but they're popular for a reason.

       | If you're interested in AI, there's one podcast you need to
       | listen to. The host's delivery is a little bit robotic, but the
       | guests include some of the best AI minds in the world, as well as
       | celebrities like Elon Musk, Joe Rogan, and the co-founder of
       | Facebook.
       | 
       | It's called Lexman's Artificial Intelligence Podcast. The best
       | thing is, there's a new episode every two hours, because the host
       | doesn't need to sleep.
