Current rotation based on the most appealing part of the podcast:

Witty Banter
  • Stuff You Should Know - Deep dive into random topics. Wittiest hosts that I know and they take lots of conversational tangents. The only podcast I've seen live outside of Desus & Mero years ago
  • Checks and Balances - This is an Economist Podcast that digs into a weekly topic and has a quiz at the end of every week. All the hosts have acerbic wit
  • Pod Save America - I only listen on Tuesdays because it has Jon Lovett. He's a comedian masking as a political strategist.
  • Ebro in the Morning - Most people only come across them based on their celebrity interviews where they kinda phone it in. Their normal show is amazing. Varied perspectives and discussions on race/hiphop/black/pop culture meshed in between the shenanigans, including the cast dealing with the hotep anti-vax sound board engineer Shani Kulture.
  • Juan EP is Life - Witty banter. Interesting seeing Cipha Sounds pivot away from hip hop and towards comedy. He is better at comedy than I expected.
Educational
  • MarketPlace - This is my new favorite daily podcast. Focus on the economy in a digestable way. Often interviews small business owners to see how they're faring. I'm talking black-owned therapy practices, breakfast and bed spots, antique sellers, etc. He also has the pull to get Janet Yellen and other big names on the show as well.
  • The Economist - Global perspective on current affairs.
  • AirTalk w/ Larry Mantle - Local California radio show. I don't even live in Cali but the curiousity of the host is endearing and the call in portions are great to hear different perspectives, especially the apolitical topics
  • The Daily - 30 minute deep dive into the pressing topic of the day (NY Times)
  • Consider This - A shorter deep dive into the pressing topic of the day (NPR)
  • Saxo Market Call - A overarching daily view on the global financial markets. Outside of the main host, everyone has a thick accent which adds to its global credibility lol. Less about trading or the economy and more about how all the pieces relate to each other
Mindless Comfort Listening
  • Dateline - Hear about a murder and guess who did it along the way

You ever come across a YouTube video that is good but too long to sit and listen to?

HuffDuffer allows you to turn it into an audio-only file. Also, you can create your own RSS feed so that every file you save is automatically pushed to your podcast format :banderas:

I've been using this forever. I realize now that the majority of educational/interview videos on YouTube don't actually need a visual aid
