Dishanirdesh
This show, hosted by Vijay Kumar Pandey, is my favourite Nepali programme to tune into. The podcast delves into the social realities, education and politics of Nepal. If you want to learn about Nepal’s social fabric, this is a must-listen.
The Joe Rogan Experience
On the air for 13 years, The Joe Rogan Experience has a total of 2198 episodes aired to date. Host Rogan invites guests from different backgrounds who provide fascinating perspectives and diverse worldviews. I like how good he is at getting good answers about life and their outlook on things from his guests.
Rogan played a big role in shaping the format for podcasts and popularised this media genre.
Meet the Leader
Meet the Leader isn’t as popular as the other podcasts. However, it’s one that individuals interested in economics will learn a lot from. Produced by World Economic Forum, host Linda Lacina speaks with ‘unconventional’ leaders, experts, and policymakers about the solutions they are developing to address the world’s most pressing problems.
