I gave up listening to podcasts for education. I found after a certain point - it gave little reward. There’s only so many topics you can know about that people want to discuss.

For now - I listen to podcasts that are more humorous than anything because I feel like I always need to keep my edge with humor and I like funny stuff. So I am a premium member of TMG Studios. I also listen to Forehead Fables and their new dungeons and dragons podcast (die of laughter).

I’m kinda done with the whole “I must always be learning every waking moment” thing. Sometimes being in a better mood from laughing is far more productive than any bullshit you’ll pick up from a podcast.



Text if more suitable for education. Podcast is inefficient perform for learning.


I agree a lot of podcasts are just rehashing the same sets of ideas. The same can be said about books released these days - most of these books should be a ten page article at best.

That said, there are definitely gems waiting to be discovered. The trick here is to spend some time looking for podcasts and episodes. For example - there is this podcast called elite man podcast. Most of the episodes are duds and the host also has weird opinions about vaccines, Trump etc. But there are a few really nice guests on the podcast. I don’t recommend the podcast, but some episodes sure are worth listening to.
