  • 99% Invisible (Roman Mars)
  • Slate Star Codex (narrated form of Scott Alexander's Astral Codex Ten column)
  • Jack Rhysider - Darknet Diaries
  • Maggie Killjoy - Cool people who did Cool Stuff
  • Cory Doctorow's podcast
  • Jennifer Briney - Congressional Dish
  • Lex Fridman

the first three are all tightly scripted storytelling: generally non-fiction, but exciting or interesting. sorted by general audience -> niche audience.

the next three edge into political territory, sorted from politically-adjacent to 100% political (not punditry):

  • Maggie's focuses on telling history. but she's self-described anarchist and it bleeds.
  • Cory's is a narrated form of his blog. usually the overlap between tech & national policy.
  • Congressional Dish is literally Jen watching hours of C-SPAN and reading 1000's of pages of text from bills to give actual deep-dives into congressional happenings.

Lex Fridman is if Joe Rogan was hosted by someone who actually did his research upfront, planned out his questions, and chose guests that are less divisive, and more academic or entrepreneurial.

if you listen to any of these, please leave a recommendation for something similar you think i would like! ❤️
