Across the web, people often cite this as the best podcast episode of all-time. Louis and Marc knew each other as starving, nobody stand-up comics in New York City and explore that time and most everything since-beginning with the demise of their relationship. This might be the most honest podcast ever recorded. A sort of modern, bassackwards sage, he loves doing things the opposite way and has delivered a handful of super popular TED Talks. A musician, circus ring leader, and founder of a company called CD Baby which he sold for $22 million and donated the entirety of to music education charities. This was my first-ever favorite podcast episode. Afterward, I walked home in tears, gazing at the sunlight peeking through the pines. I listened to this podcast while lifting weights in a small, stale apartment gym. In her poem The Summer Day, Mary Oliver penned that perfect line: “Tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?” She spent most of hers writing poems while wandering about fields and forests and coastlines enrapt with the beauty of the natural world. It turned out he was already writing a book about it, which comes out this October. After finishing a perspective-quaking ten-day Vipassana meditation retreat last fall, I was so excited about this profound link between Stoicism and Buddhism I discovered that I wrote Ryan. Most of his books are modernizations of Stoic principles with titles like The Obstacle is the Way and Ego is the Enemy, phrases he tattooed on his forearms as forever reminders. Kevin’s prolonged wander years were the proof I needed that one could take time to explore far and wide before diving deep into a career. He’s future-obsessed, wildly curious, and truly “marches to the beat of his own drum.” I first listened to this interview in Playa del Carmen, Mexico a year and a half after graduating college. Kevin Kelly is the founder of Wired Magazine. This episode is a casual, honest exploration of the views and ambitions of what might be our century’s most influential human mind. He also harbors great fear of Artificial Intelligence and his newest company, Neuralink, is well on the way to eliminating the barrier between our brains technology, because, “if you can’t beat em, join em.” I find this utterly terrifying. Elon co-founded Paypal, sold it, and bet the entire fortune on simultaneously founding companies in three necessary, new industries-solar energy, electric cars, and privatized space exploration-all of which he largely succeeded at. Elon Musk on the Joe Rogan ExperienceĮlon Musk might go down in history as superhero or supervillain, but “super” is sure to be attached to his recollection. His willingness to stand and think alone is most inspiring. For instance, read about the incredulous production of Fitzcarraldo, in which they re-enacted the story of pulling a ship over a mountain in the jungles of Peru to build an opera house under identical circumstances, with a ship that weighed ten times as much. He’s obsessed, a verging upon crazy filmmaker, who pushes the limits of himself, his cast, and his art. If anyone today possesses what the ancient Greeks called “divine madness” it’s Werner Herzog.
The twelve best podcast episodes I’ve ever heard: 1.
I could write about how valuable podcasts are for expanding awareness, allowing one to choose their influences, and how this list is just as much as a study of my own choices, but these things are easily inferred. However, I’ve scoured the web for quality conversation for half a decade now, and for perspective alone, consider each episode below well worth the time investment. I love podcasts- not quite as much as books -but they accompany daily tasks from driving, to cooking, to working out in the most engaging, fruitful of ways.Īs but one human, I’ve only listened to a tiny fraction of all the podcasts ever recorded.
