I enjoy lots of podcasts, few of which are tech-related.

Darknet Diaries, as mentioned, deals with security in a Malcolm Gladwell-style episodic mystery format.

Linear Digressions is a fun podcast about things related to data science.

The Changelog has interviews with creators and leaders spanning a wide variety of technologies.

The Tim Ferriss Show, hosted by Tim Ferriss, has long-form interviews with mostly celebrities and business leaders. A lot of good episodes.

How Did This Get Made is a podcast hosted by Paul Scheer, Jason Mantzoukas, and June Diane Raphael that dissects terrible movies. This is just overall the funniest podcast I’ve ever listened to. Highly recommended.

Armchair Expert is a pretty cool podcast hosted by Dax Shepard. He mostly interviews other celebrities, but they tend to talk about real issues and usually aren’t focused on promoting things. He’s very open about his past addictions and his mental health, so I recommend picking and choosing episodes of celebrities you like.

I’ve listened to lots of others in the past, but these are my main rotation. Shoutout to Codepen Radio, Syntax, Elixir Fountain, Pod Save America, Harmontown, and others, although I no longer listen to those regularly.
