The specifics of the journey are going to date quickly given the speed of AI development. But the shape of the journey and the dilemmas posed are going to be relevant for a lot longer.

Andrew Sullivan (Dish Cast) is doing a much better job and isnt associated with a main stream media org.
The podcast started as a sequel to Mike Duncan's classic The History of Rome, and in my opinion surpassed it. Where THoR eventually falls into the narrative trap of turning into "The Lives of Roman Emperors", THoB spends a lot of time talking about economic, demographic, societal, and technological changes within the Empire and the world.
Extremely recommended if you want a proper history podcast.
Each episode is of exceptional quality and retells history in an engaging manor. Since it's history, the entire backlog is still relevant.
Fall of Civilizations 20 - Persia - An Empire in Ashes [2]

Fall of Civilizations is excellent too.
I tuned out when he spent 30 minutes describing a famous photo-op of General MacArthur going ashore to the Philippines. That is the complete opposite of the original promise of the podcast.
- My First Million (www.mfmpod.com). I just don't know why, but for some reason I stopped listening to them in the past 2 months, but rest of the year I was really enjoying their content. Even older ones.
- Pivot and Prof G, mostly because of Scott Galloway. I really like him.
- Under The Influence with Terry O'Reilly. Amazingly good. Very fun to listen to and almost always brings joy and help me learn something new.
- All In, can't say I'm still enjoying this. It's way too political these days. But it's still something I listen to occasionally. When I listen I usually end up skipping half of the content to find something I like.
The three all have science degrees, and do proper research for their deep dives. This is a podcast which comes with supporting citations.
Incidentally, TWiV changed my life. I was working as a cabinet maker with no college degree when I gave it a shot, on a whim. The host’s refusal to shy away from technical depth convinced me that I could learn hard things. 10 years I have a biochemistry degree and work as a machine learning engineer.

Felipe, the founder of Quest Learning (joinquest.com) started a podcast series about the future of learning. I was his first guest:

And sadly, there are no more Jupiter Broadcasting shows left without crypto or mostly inside baseball.
Anyone know of shows in the category of two or three lads discussing computing, coding, devops, but in the style of two older guys crumudging that everything used to be better in the old days?
The rest of Late Night Linux is okay too.
• The Rest is History
• Pivot (Kara Swisher, techlash)
• Marketplace (stock market, with surprising bumper music)
• Inside Europe (Deutsche Welle English-language news)
A new one I started listening to is fun so far...
• Business History (more lighthearted than it sounds)

I maintain The Flophouse is the funniest podcast around.
The information density and clarity are outstanding.

discussing economics)
Sharp Tech with Ben Thompson (you sort of mentioned)
The Morning Meeting (US Politics mostly. Neutral tone,
informative, forward looking i.e. what will happen next not

Dishcast - politics + books
Sam Harris - everything
All In - tech news
Tyler Cowen - random good shows
Pirate Wires - news (coming back I heard)
Joe Rogan - famous interesting guests at least once a month
Ben Shapiro - if you want to hear the opposite of what you're reading in the NYT (Surgey Brin approved)
