Which podcast goes straight to the top of your list when it comes out?


I think we all have that one podcast that we like so much that whenever an episode comes out, it goes straight to the front of your queue. You can't wait to listen to it.

Could be about anything, doesn't have to be tech/startups related.

Had some amazing podcast recommendations from HN over the years, and I thought this could be a good way to discover even more. I know if someone here likes a podcast that much, it must be good.

Please do try to stick to that single one. I'm asking in this format purposefully to avoid long lists of recommendations that I'll never get round to reviewing. I want to really hone in on the truly special ones that stand out clearly from the rest.

OP here. For me it's Techzing[0] - it's a general tech/startups discussion that also follows the lives of the hosts. Any given episode is a mix of topics, so you never quite know what cool stuff is going to come up and that's one part of the appeal - the other part is I've been listening for a few years so am also really interested in the updates on the personal stories of the hosts - they get up to pretty interesting stuff so as soon as an episode lands I'm keen to know what they've been up to.

I'd say this one takes a while to get into but would definitely recommend starting a few episodes back and seeing how you like it - you will probably thank me!

I'm going to ignore your last line, only because my top priority podcasts are all very short (5 minute) news briefs.
