What Podcasts do you listen to?

I like Mike Rowe’s The Way I Heard It, BBC, Witness History and Ted Talks when I’m taking my walk.

My favorite podcast is WorkLife, by Adam Grant. He's an organizational psychologist, author, and professor at Wharton. In Grant's words, it's about "How to make work not suck."

I listen to some other podcasts on occasion, but I'll always listen to his as soon as a new one is available.
 
Moth Radio Hour, Snap Judgment, This American Life.
 
For the most part I switch back and forth between health podcasts and financial podcasts. Once in a while I listen to a beauty podcast.

I will probably fall asleep tonight listening to one of these: John Campbell, Dave Ramsey, Andrew Huberman (with Peter Attia to whom I also listen).
 
moth radio hour
car talk ( i know they are all old repeats because one of the brothers passed away. i still love listening to them.)
 
I listen to a lot of podcasts. Mostly Money, BBQ, and IT. Here is my list.

I listen to a lot of Old Time Radio, Gunsmoke, Dragnet, Let George do it, Philo Vance, The Adventures of Phillip Marlo, Broadway is my Beat, Richard Diamond private detective. I have an app called 'Old Time Radio'. It has a list of about 100 radio shows that you pick from and create your own playlist
and it continues to cycle through them. You can even have many playlists and pick the one you want. There are comedies, Abbott and Costello, Burns and Allen, my favorite, Our Miss Brooks, Action Shows, Crime Shows, Dramas, Future shows, Horror shows, Suspense and Westerns. I fall asleep to them every night.
 
In Our Time on BBC Radio

Covers a very diverse array of topics (history, culture, the arts, religion, science), almost always interesting with refreshingly no political slant or preachiness.
 
car talk ( i know they are all old repeats because one of the brothers passed away. i still love listening to them.)

A interesting and fun replacement for Car Talk would be a real winner for whoever could pull it off.
 
Clark Howard
Hacks on Tap
Security Now (especially for the Gibson's tips on new SciFi books and shows and the photo of the week)
 
The World and Everything in It - weekday newscast from a Christian perspective
The Babylon Bee - Satire
Honestly with Bari Wise
The Money with Katie Show - Money and personal finance
Young Heretics - the Classical Education you didn't know you needed.
The Tim Hawkins Podcast - Tim is a comedian and his weekly podcast includes his hilarious family
Dan Carlin's Hardcore History - detailed history podcast
 
This Podcast Will Kill You - two (young female) epidemiologists talking about one disease per episode. Sounds weird but very enjoyable and informative.

Pantsuit Politics - two women discussing politics and the news constructively

The Ezra Klein Show - don't listen to all episodes but some guests are excellent and they have a good description to preview

Clear and Vivid - Alan Alda is a great interviewer and his guests are interesting

Moontower Soccer - only of interest to Austin FC fans, but they do a great job

Recently I discovered that there are a bunch of podcasts on knitting, and I'm going through back episodes of several to listen as I knit. My favorites are Very Pink, Make Good, and Yarniacs.

Agree with Chuckanut that a quality replacement for Car Talk would be great.
 
Not a podcast, but I enjoy listening to the original series of “The Shadow”. About 200 shows ran from 1937 to 1951. The advertisements back then are interesting too. “Blue Coal”, America’s Finest Anthracite.
 
Money Planet--Interesting stories and factoids about every day economics explained in an easy-to-understand manner.

Built to Sell--Interviews with entrepreneurs about how they sold their company.

Skeptics Guide to the Universe--Podcast that debunks scientific claims found on the internet, conspiracies, bad science, and controversies.

The Old Time Radio I listen to runs all the cigarette ads. They have many where the Doctors are telling us how there is no irritation after 30 days of smoking their brand, nothing about no cancer. One of them advertises Fatima cigarettes, I never heard of them in the mid West, I thing they were a West coast item. Chesterfield is another brand advertised.
 
I listen regularly to:

Car Talk
Wait Wait Don’t Tell Me

Conversations with Tyler
Macro Musings
Odd Lots
Stratechery

Edit to add - I have dropped some podcasts because of the advertising and have cut back on Odd Lots for that reason. It’s not having ads so much as it is the specific ads.

Agree 100%! Will be hard for anyone to pull off

Realistically, it would be too difficult and very foolish to try and duplicate Click and Clack. But, a light hearted show with similar information and public call-in would still be great.

I can imagine the first call "I'm NNNNN from the Early Retirement forum, should my next car be and EV, a Hybrid, or an ICE vehicle?"
