Since I listen to music, podcasts and books all day at work for 11 hours a day, wondering what other people are listening to?

Also does anyone know if stitcher premium is worth paying for? (I currently use podcast addict on Android which I love but there is something exclusive on SP I was interested in.)

Thanks

here’s some podcasts I enjoy:  
Henry Rollins on KCRW  
You Are Not So Smart  
Hardcore History  
Radiolab  
Art of Manliness  
Revolutions

I too listen to podcasts and music all day. Mostly comedy ones such as Comedy Bang Bang, Hollywood Handbook, Judge John Hodgman, How Did This Get Made… I recommend not listening to those while lifting as it can be potentially hazardous to laugh in the middle of a squat. I’m glad you started this thread, I hope to get some good ideas from other replies 😉

At some point I couldn’t stand listening to the vast genre of self-improvement type podcasts b/c so much of what is out there is really just a nice sounding opinion revolving around premises that aren’t grounded in evidence. That’s one reason I prefer the BBM approach of straight facts and CBT-adjacent concepts to the BB Logic warrior culture be-a-real-man fare.

Sam Harris’ podcast is great for when you wanna do some deep thinking.

Joe Rogan depending on the guest (ben shapiro, jordan peterson, stephen pinker, steven crowder etc.)

+1 to the Revolutions podcast, and the host’s previous one The History of Rome. History, but interesting.  
+1 Waking Up podcast when Sam’s not talking politics (boring 😛 )  
Planet Money is great. Serial is superb.

Gimlet Media has some great ones. Crimetown and Science Vs are my favourites of theirs.

Sam Harris (Waking Up) is not just a great podcast in of itself, but opens the door to so many other fascinating thinkers. I’m currently pretending to understand Stephen Pinker and linguistics…  
Dan Carlin  
Bill Burr  
RTS  
Iraki Nutrition  
Skeptoid  
JTS  
Ask Rip

More of an audiobook fan if I’m honest.

Not seeing much love for BB Medicine…tut…tut…tut…

I don’t think the Docs are prolific enough yet to really count as a regular listen. I assume everyone is like me and looks at it in the morning and weeps silently when it still shows the Ibuprofen episode (or now I guess it will be the Programming ep1). Looking forward to the day when they are putting out weekly episodes if that ever happens.

I agree that Sam Harris’s podcast is good.

I love listening to “Stuff You Should Know” from How Stuff Works. Food stuff (also from How Stuff Works) is pretty good too, (and surprisingly very science-based, but also very interesting and fun to listen to).

I travel way too much for work (Austin, TX to New Orleans, a couple times a month, and Dallas, San Antonio and Houston are considered “local travel”), so I am always looking for more podcasts to keep me sane.

I don’t listen as much as I used to and plan on getting back into them, including some suggestions from above - thanks. When I last listened regularly I enjoyed Roderick on the Line, with John Roderick and Merlin Mann: [Roderick on the Line Episodes - Merlin Mann](http://www.merlinmann.com/rotl-episodes/) Generally amusing story telling and discussion.
