My Favorite Podcasts

I include podcasts here since they are similar learning tools to books. While not nearly as stimulating as books, they are much easier to digest while driving 😉

Another small advantage podcasts have over books is the natural conversational format. Most good ones use question and answer or story telling schemes that is a good match to our natural thought process.

I listen to a lot of different podcasts, but these are the ones I listen to every episode.

From the website: Each episode, I deconstruct world-class performers from eclectic areas (investing, sports, business, art, etc.) to extract the tactics, tools, and routines you can use. This includes favorite books, morning routines, exercise habits, time-management tricks, and much more.

It’s not just me. Also from the website: The Tim Ferriss Show is often the #1 business podcast on all of Apple Podcasts, and it’s been ranked #1 out of 500,000+ podcasts on many occasions. It is the first business/interview podcast to pass 100,000,000 downloads, it has been selected as “Best of” Apple Podcasts for three years running, and readers of Fortune Magazine‘s Term Sheet recently selected The Tim Ferriss Show as their top business podcast. It has now surpassed one billion downloads.
