Curious what everyone is listening to for podcasts these days, whether it be technical or not. I've been listening to Joe Rogan lately. They're long, but he has interesting guests from all walks of life. Maybe not everyone's cup of tea, but I've been enjoying his podcast. Update 2020: I had only listened to a few of his podcast episodes but did not realize in other episodes that I had not listened to, they were causing harm and danger to folks. So definitely off my podcast list.
I also recently discovered the Script & Style podcast with Todd Gardner and David Walsh. Not sure why this one hadn't already popped up on my radar.
So what are you folks all listening to these days?

Yeah... I like Podcasts :)
Your list looks a lot like mine!
And this is only a fraction of the entire list, I probably need a podcast intervention :)
Think I'm at 55 now :O
I'm addicted
Wow! That is a lot of hours I'm betting
Heh yeah, I don't even want to know how many - I'm also a platinum subscriber on Audible. :O
I listen at 1.5x-2x speed with the silence cut out, and I also skip a lot of the interview-y podcasts - unless I really care, or have never heard about the subject.
Which app do you use to store and play them ?
Overcast
I am also an Overcast.fm user for the most part, but I do also like to use podyssey.fm
My favourites at the moment are ...
Darknet diaries is 100% my favorite podcast. Not dev-related per se, for me its more like a "relax and listen to the story" kinda thing. 10/10 would recommend!
☝️☝️ YES!! Best non-tech podcast I've found in a long time!
I launched a site called onepodcast.xyz that will send out 1 episode, 1x week! It gets a little crazy finding new podcasts sometimes, by signing up to the newsletter you'll get a new episode delivered weekly with no work.
onePodcast will allow folks to discover podcasts on a weekly basis from small to large creators.
Sounds cool. I'll definitely sign up. 👍
Thank you, Nick!
Good news, it's back~

A few tech podcasts I'm enjoying lately:
There are a lot of others I tune into if I'm interested in the topic of the week.
Outside of tech, Totes Recall is my favorite funny podcast about kind of remembering movies.
Joe Rogan (and his podcast) very directly resulted in one of my best friends getting death threats for months, so I recoil every time I see him on any suggested list. Here's what I've been listening to:
That is unfortunate and I hope none of them materialized. I wouldn't rule Joe's podcast out completely though. Some of his guests are really engaging and informative when they get to his long form casual platform, and you get a full picture of them that you can't get through the normal mediums.
Thanks but honestly if I'm interested in any of his guests I'll find a way to get information that doesn't reward his toxicity with my clicks or listens.
Oh, sorry to hear about that. I hope your friend is OK.
Rogan has been great for long drives, makes the miles fly by. The only complaint is he will often go down a UFC rabbit hole talking about things that I can't find interesting, but the good outweighs everything.
I just finished "Worm: Audiobook Project" that is distributed as a podcast: audioworm.rein-online.org/ Cool story about superpower in the real world. Kind of like Heros but where people can say fuck.
If you're on android, podcast addict can be easily set up to skip the intro/outro that every episode has.
Fave at the minute is the triforce podcast. 3 (pyrionflax, sips and Lewis) 35+ reasonably famous grumpy old gamers talking absolute tosh for a hour each week. Genuinely look forward to it tbh. Nothing Dev related mind you just fun to listen to.
Most of my play list is from the CBC (Canada's BBC). Lots of good stuff there.

For tech listening, Spark is good.

Malcolm Gladwell - Revisionist History: revisionisthistory.com
The Economist has good stuff too:

... oh my, I am such a nerd!
I see many people listen to all the great developer podcasts. I find it's hard to listen to them while working because they take some concentration (except Front End Happy Hour which is all light and fluffy and doesn't require concentration :) )
I'm of big fan of Revisionist History by Malcolm Gladwell, he hasn't put any out recently, but if you haven't heard his stuff, it's "History", so still timely.
Also Brain Food podcast sometimes.
I've read a bunch of Malcolm Gladwell's books, so thanks for sharing his podcast.
Been jamming on quite a few recently - interview shows to iOS app Breaker's show to daily news briefings and beyond.
