2019 Podcast Picks
I post my annual podcast picks on Linkedin rather than Facebook because I think it's such an important habit for professionals. If you have downtime in airports or rush hour, there's no better use of your time than this free, rolling university.
If you are new to podcasting, you'll need a podcast player. I recommend Pocket Casts. It offers apps for Android/iOS and a web player that syncs with the apps. It also offers a powerful search tool covering a deeper catalog than most other apps. Finally, it features a great variable speed option-- allowing you to power through episodes without listening to the chipmunks.
Click here for my 2018 and 2017 picks. Most of those are still in my playlist.
If I had to recommend only 3 podcasts:
- The Joe Rogan Experience - Still amazed by the depth and variety of topics.
- Waking Up with Sam Harris - We should all strive for this level of thought and discourse-- no matter what our positions.
- The Daily - A deeper dive into a headline per day in 20-ish minutes.
Compelling new additions for 2019:
- The Dream - A brutal excoriation of the MLM (multi-level marketing) industry.
- Household Name - "... the rest of the story..." about some of our most beloved brands.
- Scene on Radio - Definitely leans hard into Social Justice Warrior territory. Have a listen anyway, and your perspectives may shift a bit. At the very least, stop mansplaining.
- Wolverine: The Long Night - Great, classic radio theater.
- Trump, Inc. - What he doesn't want you to know.
- The Jordan B. Peterson Podcast - Definitely leans hard away from Social Justice Warrior territory. Have a listen anyway, and your perspectives may shift a bit. At the very least, take some personal responsibility.
The uncountable list of CAE related podcasts:
- Talking CFD - The length of this list irritates me.
As usual, please comment with your favorite podcasts from any genre. Always on the lookout for quality!
