I am curious about podcasts with high quality content but that are pretty centered around specific topics like hobbies or particular professions.

For example, there are a handful of ham radio podcasts such as Linux In The Ham Shack.

Tell me about some podcasts that keep you up in your interests or career that wouldn’t make sense to share with most people you know.

Corecursive is an amazing podcast about software engineering that transcends the genre, IMO.

My favorite episode is an interview with Philip Wadler, the most eloquent intellectual in the world of computation by a mile.

On the topic of software engineering, I’ve been loving to listen to Soft Skills Engineering. Weekly questions answered on workplace conundrums.

I have been enjoying Tech Won’t Save Us. It mainly focuses on the politics and unethical behavior of Big Tech/Silicon Valley. It has been an eye opener.

FWIW I am also weirdly appreciative of the government accountability office watchdog report, in case this helps with direction.

I recently found the American Revolution Podcast by Michael Troy which goes intro insane details about the war. 300+ ~25 minute episodes going into detail on every aspect leading up to and during the war, with a dash of dry humor.
