The best podcasts of 2019, starting at the top with #1…
1. WTF with Marc Maron
Episodes to start with: pretty much any! Some of the best are the episodes with Louis CK, Robin Williams, and most recently the Henry Winkler one.
2. Radiolab
Episodes to start with: Time, Sperm, Sleep, and Nazi Summer Camp.
3. The Tim Ferris Show
Episodes to start with: Kevin Kelly, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Ramit Sethi, Alex Blumberg.
4. Dan Carlin’s Hardcore History
Episodes to start with: Armageddon I. It’s a bit long at 3 hours long (I know), but it’s a one of the most fascinating stories, and it just happens to be a true story (about World War I and II).
5. My Brother, My Brother and Me
Episodes to start with: any. Just go with the most recent one.
6. The Late Show Podcast w/ Steven Colbert
This just started up, so there are only a handful of episodes so far. Dive in.
7. Startup
Start at the beginning, with Episode #1.
8. RISK!
True stories, boldy told. Some of my favorite episodes include Obsessions, and Faked. And some of the best stories (edited from the episode) are available on the website here.
9. Savage Love
Episodes to start with: the most recent one.
10. On Books
My podcast! I couldn’t not include it on my favorite’s list. Each week Chris Castiglione (me) shares one of his (my) favorite books with you. Sometimes I have guests, sometimes I don’t. It all depends on the book.
