Radical Candor and Other Podcasts Worth the Time

I've loved podcasts for many years. While some pop in and out of my listening rotation, these are the ones I regularly enjoy: 

  • Radical Candor: A recent add to my list. This one has been extremely helpful as I've taken on people management. 

  • The Weeds:  I enjoy that instead of simply providing the headlines this show goes much deeper into policy, and unpacks complex issues quite well. Explanations are thorough; lending detail on the issue, why it's important and how it came to be on the current policy agenda.

  • Freakenomics: For me, a truly classic podcast. The content is engaging and interesting, exploring everything from matching algorithms to the psychology of Wikipedia editors. It goes way beyond the books in terms of topic diversity and depth.

  • Ask Me Another: A clever quiz show that adds a little light and humor to my podcast feed.
