How many of you listen to podcasts and when do you listen to them?
Do you listen to podcasts? Then I NEED YOU!
I've had a new idea for a passion project and I'd like to know how many of you listen to podcasts and if so what kind you listen to and also what you look for when trying to find new podcasts.
If you could answer the following questions it would be much appreciated. Also feel free to add answers to questions I didn't ask or anything else you wish to share.
- How often do you listen to podcasts? (daily, weekly etc)
- Typically what are you doing when listening to a podcast? (working, walking, running etc)
- What subjects/genres interest you when choosing a podcast?
- Is production value or genuine passion/interest more important when choosing a podcast to subscribe to?
- Which podcasts would you recommend to me and why?
Thank you in advance for your responses.
- I listen on a weekly basis
- Usually, it's either when I shower or do the dishes — can't listen to podcasts when I work (or run)
- Design, Startups, Life
- The content itself should be valuable, but production is also important
- My favorites are "Design Details", "Overtime", "The Ground Up Show" — all of them bring value, but are still easy to listen to (fun) and have good production.
Hope that helps! Curious to find out what you are working on 🙂
Thank you, that is very useful. I also can't listen to any while working but I love podcasts/audiobooks while running. Interesting how everyone is different with these things.
I will check out your recommendations also.
I listen to podcasts weekly. (1-3) It's hard for me to listen while coding so I mostly do it when I do administrative stuff
My goal with podcasts is to learn something, it can be pure knowledge or a story, I like stories! (Philosophical, Startup, Mindfulness, Personal Experience)
My favorites podcasts & episodes :
Master of Scale:
Brian Chesky Founder of Airbnb
Diane Greene Founder of VMware
Stewart Butterfield Founder of Slack
JRE :
Naval Ravikant is an entrepreneur and angel investor
Tim Ferriss:
Patrick Collision - CEO of Stripe
Ray Dalio - Author of "Work & Life Principles" <-- Awesome Book
Everyday
Commuting, making food or eating, some times doing visual work like on photoshop
Design, Startup, and Comedy
Production value is somewhat important. Its not the most important factor but I'm not going to listen to a podcast if I get hear it.
Darknet Diaries, The Knowledge Project, Building an Indie Business, The Art of Product, Build Your Saas, Software Engineering Daily, The Yo! Podcast Your Undivided Attention, The Church of What's Happening Now, and The Monday Morning Podcast.
I recommend these because they are all quality podcast
- I tend to listen daily, but I'll skip some days here and there. I'd say I listen 3-4 days out of the week.
- I mostly listen while I'm driving alone. Depending on the podcast, I'll listen, with my wife, on road trips.
- I lean toward listening to something I can learn from. I mean learning everything from Giraffe facts to how to deal with a crappy coworker.
- Production value is important, I guess, but the content is way more important.
As for podcasts that I recommend, here they are, in no particular order:
- Ask a Manager - Talks about issues at work and how to handle them
- Should this exist - Discusses new tech and whether or not it should exist
- This Is Love - Atypical love stories. One of my favorites was about a woman and a baby whale who was lost
- Committed - stories about commitment in a relationship and what that can look like for different people
- Nancy - Uplifting and heartbreaking LGBTQ stories
- Stuff You Should Know - how common things work
- Part Time Genius - answers goofy but thought-provoking questions
- Business Wars - Storys like Coke vs Pepsi and Redbull vs Monster
Thank for for you reply and list of podcasts. Should this exist looks particularly interesting! :)
What software do you use to listen to the podcasts usually?
Should This Exist is incredibly interesting. I liked the episode talking about drones.
I use Spotify.
- Weekly, usually on weekends.
- I usually listen to podcasts when I'm commuting/driving and sometimes when I'm doing chores around the house.
- Software Engineering, Startups, Psychology
- For me, both production value and interest are important. But not more than content.
- My favourite podcasts — Tim Ferriss, Indiehackers, The Knowledge Project, Guy Raz's How I Built This and TED Radio Hour, Y Combinator's podcast. I sometimes listen to Freakanomics Radio, Full Stack Radio, Software Engineering Daily.
Hopefully this helps. I'm looking forward to checking out your project.
I'm a bit weird, sometimes I consume podcasts constantly and every day. Other times I spent weeks without opening my podcast app.
Listen while doing chores at home or driving from work.
Software dev related, funny ones - like D&D is for nerds
I'd say production and interest is very important - also content must be good.
5 .
Python Bytes - quick python news
Talk Python to me - usually some cool stuff
Complete Developer podcast - Talk about dev but also their lives and what sort of things they are doing
D&D Is for nerds - its a pretty funny one and I always laugh.
My Dad Wrote a Porno - it's a British one but funny as hell. Basically the host reads a bad Porno that his dad wrote and comments about the writing.
Monday Morning Podcast - it's Bill Burrs, it will be funny
I also listen to one but is in Portuguese but is interviews with people :D
Why have you not mentioned you listen to Bill Burr? I feel like I talk about him once a week on Telegram😂
- daily, at least a couple of hours
- commuting, walking or working out
- entrepreneurship, wellness, self-development
- Both are a must for me.
- I listen to Noah Kagan, How I built this, The MFCEO Project, The Model Health Show, Ed Mylett Show, and Tony Robbins. I listened to Impact Theory which was pretty good too.
Hope it helps :D
