Recommend a Podcast

Seconded!

'True Spies' is a podcast all about espionage - very well-produced. I find the episodes a bit hit-and-miss (I find the Drugs War or War on Terror episodes a lot less interesting than the Cold War stuff), but they had a very good episode about WW1 anti-submarine deception recently - 'Q, followed by U'.

Looking for Business podcast recommendations. I currently listen to Irish Times inside business, FT, motley fool, and Planet Money.

I've more there somewhere, Ill post over the weekend if i can find them,

I'm a few episodes in and I can't recommend this enough.

What do an Irish priest, an IRA man turned comic book dealer, and a retired New York cop have in common? In 1993, they were implicated in one of the biggest heists in American history, the theft of $7.4m in cash from a Brinks vault in New York. This GoLoud Original podcast chronicles the remarkable story of the 1993 Rochester Brinks heist, bringing us inside the FBI hunt for those responsible, and on an epic journey from the IRA Blanket Protests of Long Kesh prison to the underground casinos of Manhattan, the world of comic books, and into the lives of the fascinating cast of characters...

This is excellent - Wisdom From The Top with Guy Raz

From NPR

From the creator of How I Built This, host Guy Raz invites you to listen in as he talks to leadership experts and the visionary leaders of some of the world's biggest brands. Along the way, you'll hear accounts of crisis, failure, turnaround, and triumph, as the leaders reveal their secrets on their way to the top. These are stories that didn't make it into their company bios, and valuable lessons for anyone trying to make it in business.

+1 for this. Just need to be selective as to which episodes to listen to because I never heard of most of the guests.

one of the founders of Mailchimp is interviewed plus the guy behind Lulu Lemon

Another business pod here

This is quite good. I've listened to the last two and will be subscribing. Thanks for the tip.

Anyone listening to Batman Unburied?

Not sure what to make of it yet tbh but it's something different.

Also different is the Wagatha Christie podcast from the BBC.... normally allergic to this kind of thing but something about the story is strangely compelling.

Hard to comprehend really how utterly vacuous and stupid people can be and how the legal fees could be put to endless better uses....it should be a wake up call but probably won't be

BBC4 this week released a 10 part podcast series called Unreal: A Critical History of Reality TV. My fondness for and fascination with reality TV makes this ideal listening.

I’ve been quite enjoying The Rest is Politics.

Political podcast between Rory Stewart and Alistair Campbell.

Is there anything remotely comparable for Irish politics. Non-partisan look at politics of the week kinda stuff?

Unusual suspects is a good listen,

Although i feel there is way ore to the story that Sam is unwilling to reveal,

That would be my criticism of it too. It is very good and I would recommend it. The narrator has some particularly strange pronunciations at times especially of place names. Fascinating story and one I never knew much about but it could've easily been covered in half the time.

Good Ship BrewDog

"Punk" CEO James Watt built a £2bn business, then controversy struck. The Captain is accused of leading a culture of fear and more, so can he steer the Good Ship through the storm?

A good listen for anyone interested in Business startup stories or the brewing/Beer industry
