list of podcasts


here are the podcasts (in no particular order) I'm subscribed to and therefore new episodes are always loaded on my phone.
I no not listen to everything, after all i spend only 2 hours a day in my car


  1. science vs ...
    1. this is nicely done science lite. they present a topic then ask 2-3 questions, bring options and draw conclusions. all in a lite and humorous way (not always my )
  2. Adam ruins everything the podcast
    1. this is extension of the youtube and truTV series of the same name.
    2. the last episode is from March 2018. - not sure if the podcast is active
  3. 60 seconds science from scientific american
    1. as i was looking for the link i learned they have another podcast science talk i should probably try.
  4. Exponent
    1. is a podcast from Ben Thompson the creator of Stratechery blog that talks about strategy and business of technology and media. 
  5. freakonomics 
    1. they recently changed the production company to stitcher. so far the new podcasts seem to be aimed more at the general public with the first 2 episodes - one interview with Nobel prize winner Richard Thaler and the second one with Lance Armstrong.
  6. more or less: behind the stats from BBC radio 4
    1. short (8 mins) stories about numbers that we hear in the news.
  7. in our time: philosophy from BBC radio 4
    1. they pick a topic or a philosopher, find 3-4 expert guests and talk about it for 45minutes.
    2. the topics are interesting and the guests are very knowledgeable
  8. Patterson in Pursuit: Philosophy | Politics | Religion by Steve Patterson
    1. self proclaimed "philosopher and author working outside of academia". Discussion about philosophy, and how we know things, i find his ideas interesting but sometimes half-baked especially when i know a bit about the topic (free choice as randomness) 
  9. Philosophy bites
    1. exactly what is sounds like - 
    2. very enjoyable and understandable short-ish (20mins) discussion on topics i did;t know anything about - i didn't know even existed 
    3. they just announced (july 2018) that each one of the hosts have a new podcast - i haven't checked yet.
  10. stats and stories from Miami university
    1. interviews of statistician that is conducted by one statistician and one journalist. 
  11. The tom woods show
    1. very opinionated daily podcast on libertarian ideology. i'm fascinated by the ideas and i know something is off.
  12. thinking allowed from BBC radio 4
    1. presented by Laurie Taylor, a Professor of Sociology on social topics.
    2. sometimes interesting sometimes less so.
  13. downhill review
