Podcasts I follow:

The Tim Ferriss Show

Hosted by the American entrepreneur and author Tim Ferriss, this podcast was launched in 2014. Over 650 episodes of it have aired to date. Ferriss interviews big names in a variety of fields, including investing and pro sports on the show.

I love how in-depth Ferriss’ conversations with his interviewees are. The podcast covers people involved in diverse industries, so listeners get an insight into the lives of professionals working in all sorts of fields.

Checks and Balance from The Economist

Hosts John Prideaux, Charlotte Howard, Idrees Kahloon and Jon Fasman tackle a major theme in American politics in this weekly podcast by The Economist. Launched in 2020, over 150 episodes of the podcast have been released. Each episode of Checks and Balance is about 45 minutes long.

Check and Balance helps me catch up with current affairs and happenings in the culture and political scene of the world. Also, the podcast covers things included in the magazine. So, anytime I don’t find the time to sit down and read through the pages of The Economist, I turn on Check and Balance.

Radiolab

Radiolab is an investigative podcast that relies on storytelling to uncover intensively researched stories. Each episode of the podcast touches on various subjects, from science to legal history, to put forth a cohesive story. Started in 2011, over 200 episodes of the podcast have been released to date.

The storytelling aspect of Radiolab is what sells it to me. All of its episodes feature full investigative journalism pieces that are informative and enjoyable to listen to.
