5-4 You're Wrong About (listening to back catalog) Planet Money
Shut up and sit down, funniest board game podcast
Not much of a podcaster. I only listen to Toni and Ryan. Theyβre hilarious.
I've tried out quite a few, but the ones I've stuck with are:
Destination Linux: I haven't listened to it in a whule because I barely have any time left for it, but it can often be very interesting and educational.
Tech over Tea: It's an Interview-style podcast where Brodie Robertson, a well-known Linux YouTuber, interviews a member of the Open Source community, usually a developer, about their project and you could often get some interesting insights into the life and responsibilities of an open source developer, as well as some interesting stories during development and insights into what the future of the project might look like.
Are those podcasts any good for Linux noobs? I recently bought a used Steam Deck and love the OS so much that I'm considering building a beefy Chimera OS desktop to rival my PS5 in the living room and also replace my 2015 gaming laptop. I'm hesitant because I haven't seen much info on how Chimera does outside of gaming since I still want to be able to also do standard browsing and stream TV/movies.
I don't know much about programming, so I'm a little nervous about where to start with making sure I'm prepared for troubleshooting Linux issues that I know I'll encounter. I did okay with Windows issues but I've heard nothing but complaints about 11.
Linux Unplugged and Selfhosted are the podcasts I started to listen to when getting into Linux. Otherwise I posted a full list of other Linux podcasts that I like in the comments π
You can watch them but they aren't made to be educational, so if you're looking for educational content, I'd say DL is okay, while Tech over Tea, while it is my favorite, is not exactly a channel used to learn about Linux. If you want to learn Linux as a career, I'd point to Learn Linux TV. Learning about Linux for general usage, I'd recommend CTT, DistroTube, InfinitelyGalactic, OldTechBloke, and The Linux Experiment.
Jung & naiv And Aufwachen Podcast
Are the best ones.- but they are german
FΓΌr mich: Logbuch Netzpolitk, Lage der Nation, UKW, Raumzeit, Forschergeist, Hoaxilla. DAS PODCAST UFO, Stay Forever und "WTFM 100, Null" fΓΌr's Entertainment. Aber Jung & Naiv ist auch super. Tilo auf der Bundespressekonferenz ist immer ein highlight.
Omnibus. Ten Percent Happier. Madigan's Pubcast.

I really, really need to listen to more. My spouse made me listen to the Steven Segal episodes. Wow, I knew he was a jerkwad, but I didn't know how extensively terrible he is.

Basic tech bro stuff but, WAN Show
How is WAN show lately? I tried to listen a while back but Linus... comes off really, really full of himself and it was hard tolerate to get to the substance.
He def has an ego but, I think heβs a good person and I agree with the majority of broader ethical opinions he has so, nothing that turns me off a ton
no such thing as a fish the adam ragusea podcast lateral with tom scott
The Right Time with Bomani Jones.
I wonder what he'll be doing next since he was let go from ESPN in the great 2023 purge.

Levat Burton Reads
-
Darknet Diaries
- the infinite monkey cage
- cautionary tales
- crowdscience
Oh shit. Can't believe you got my exact top 3. Especially since Cautionary Tales isn't even BBC and likely much more of a niche show.
Haha great! I got into cautionary tales because of 'more or less', searched for Tim harford because I liked he's presenting!
Oh wow. You really are me. This is surreal. Care to share your whole podcast list? I'd be interested in discovering new shows from someone with similar interests.
Sure, it's mostly BBC and mostly science.
My all time favorite podcast is Elements. It's from 2014-2016, but still worth the listen! Every episode explores an element or a group of similar elements on the periodic table. Physics and chemistry is often very theoretical and weird and hard to understand (for me), but in this podcast it gets very applied and business oriented: which industry uses this stuff, why, how ...? It was my gateway-podcast into the BBC really.
- The documentary podcast: I often don't listen, it very much depends on the subject
- witness history
- Discovery: same, depends on subject
- The food chain
- 50 things that made the modern economy
- Unexpected elements
- Hidden brain (shankar vedantam)
- Radiolab (WNYC studios)
- The climate question
- Sliced bread
One that doesn't really fit the others but i liked very much: death in ice valley.
And then a few in german and dutch language, mostly politics/society, i'm just gonna assume you don't understand dutch or german ;)
Care to share some of yours?
