Worthy Podcasts - 1

There has never been a better time to go fishing in the pond of wisdom. Podcasts offer the best alternative to books. They're like the cooler, more laid-back cousins of books (okay, maybe I'm a tad biased). With more podcasts coming online daily, choosing the good ones is tricky. But worry not, I'm going to spill the beans on the podcasts that have tickled my brain cells lately, right here in these blogs.

I have stuck to Spotify to listen to podcasts. Their free subscription is ad-free (podcasts only) and the choice is good. So, grab your headphones, kick back, and let the podcast binge begin!

Here is this week's set:

• The Anthropocene Reviewed is a 30-minute podcast series (last episode 2021) . John Green (The Fault in Our Stars) tackles two questions in 30 minutes. Start with this episode - On Tetris and the Seed Potatoes of Leningrad . This podcast was suggested by Dr Meshwa (Thanks).

• Lex Fridman podcast series has a set of good interviews. They are all deep dives. This podcast interview with Matthew McConaughey is a good one. Couple this one with his biography Greenlights. I loved the book.

• This Michael Shermer interview with Kevin Kelly is another gem. Don't miss reading the book Excellent Advice for Living: Wisdom I Wish I'd Known Earlier by Kevin Kelly. This might be the book I will gift most in the coming year.

Let me know if you have come across any good podcasts. I would love to hear about them.
