My favorite podcasts

I love podcast and now spend more time than ever listening. It is a growing business and therefore there are tons of good and bad podcasts. Let’s talk about the good ones. Here are my favourites:

Philosophize This!

No clue about philosophy, but looking for a beginner friendly educational podcast? Steven West explains everything you need to know in a genuine and comprehensible manner.

Freakonomics

A book, a blog and a podcast. Based on the most readable economics blog and bestseller books Steve Dubner and Steven Lewitt are running a radio show and talking about the hidden side of everything.
