As long as I'm riffing on the difficulty of podcast discovery, I thought I'd post some recommendations, sorted by the very scientific algorithm "My eclectic interests optimized for things you probably wouldn't have been recommended before."

Here we go:
BiggerPockets: biggerpockets.com/podcast

Real estate investing, mostly for smaller landlords as opposed to e.g. commercial REITs. Lots of storytelling and scrappy entrepreneurship.

Tech listeners will enjoy tales of folks cobbling systems together w/o software + get SaaS ideas.
Disrupting Japan: disruptingjapan.com

Far and away the best English-language podcast whose beat is the Japanese tech industry, a subject massively under-understood by most smart people in tech. (Still the ~3rd biggest economy in the world.)
ThinkingPoker: thinkingpoker.net/category/podca…

The text is about the game of poker (deeply) but also about how the people who play the game of poker think about things like risk, career development, their various fields, etc etc.
ZenFounder: zenfounder.com/category/episo…

Clinical psychologist Dr. Sherry Walling on founder mental health, with recurring themes about family and relationships featuring as a standout to me. Also, the Founder Origin Stories subseries is the best ethnography work on bootstrappers.
And for the relatively few podcast listeners who follow me and don't know about these:

A16z: a16z.com/podcasts/
Conversations with Tyler: conversationswithtyler.com
Startups for the Rest of Us: startupsfortherestofus.com
Tim Ferris
YCombinator: blog.ycombinator.com/category/podca…

If (greater) Tokyo were a country it would have the 10th highest GDP in the world, slightly beating Canada.
Sometimes I feel like I have a bit of a chip on my shoulder about this when in Silicon Valley because of the question "Isn't Japan sort of an economic basket case?" and, well, it's a pretty materially sized basket.
The parts of Japan that aren't in Tokyo, by comparison, amount to a United Kingdom and enough change for a Poland or so.

There is unreasonable amounts of leverage in both software and security by communicating the blessed path to do something and making it more easy and obvious to take the blessed path and harder, crufty, and scary to take the non-blessed path.
This can be as easy as forcing an engineer to type the word "unsafe" to do things that are unsafe. (And then you can audit for that, grep for it, discourage it in training, encourage people to push back in code reviews, etc.)
Corollary: DON'T MAKE THE SAFE PATH THE HARDER ONE. This includes e.g. safely_query_the_database() over query()

"Mine is probably not the only codebase filled full of edge cases which is only fully described by the codebase and takes months or years for new folks to wrap their heads around enough to navigate confidently" a pretty key realization about the world.
Codebase could be metaphorical or very literal here.
I think from this pretty quickly follows a forward derivation of Michael Creighton's take on journalists, which is that they substantially misreport things pervasively and that we only notice when they're reporting on our own expertise.

Bir başka podcast twit seli!
Podcast yayıncılığı ve reklam konusu @Spotify 'ın @Gimletmedia 'yı almasıyla yazılarda daha fazla yer almaya başladı. @Forbes Spotify'ın bu hamlesi sonrasında geleneksel radyo, podcast karşılaştırması ve reklam harcamalarına dair br yazı yayınlamış.
Podcast yayınlarının reklam geliri elde edip edemeyeceğini sorgulamanın bir sonraki trene geç kalmak olduğunu düşünüyorum. En iyi örnek streaming music vakası.
Streaming servisi fikri ortaya çıktığında kim para öder film izler, müzik dinler denilen noktadan gelinen yer klasik mecraların streaming servislerinin gerisinde kaldığı bir dönem oldu.

Chinese Communist wanted to do away with Chinese scripts and replace it w full Latin alphabet. But something happened along the way. We ended up with Simplified Chinese characters instead. I will talk about this history in this thread

Chinese 大众报 news in full Latin script
In early 20th century, some radical Chinese intellectuals thought the only way for China to be modern is to get rid of Chinese characters and switch to alphabet like rest of the world. Latinized Chinese textbooks
Switch Chinese writing to full Latin alphabet had the support of Chinese Communist Party leadership after establishment of PRC. Zhou Youguang 周有光, Banker returning from New York was tasked with creating Chinese Romanization program. The result is Pinyin System

The concepts of doing well by doing good, impact investment funds & the like substitute "generosity" for "justice". Justice often requires the powerful to lose something, to stop standing on someone's back. 1/x
Generosity in this context is like continuing to stand on someone's back while throwing them a bone. Generosity of this kind where the system doesn't change but scraps are thrown has become a very powerful idea. 2/x

Right. No-one asked for it, but several of you fuckers need it, so here's my tips for creating a good #podcast:
1. Edit your work. Listen to what you've recorded and take the time to cut out the erms, the ums, the slurpy mouth noises, coughs, farts, etc.
And for the love of fuck, don't eat or drink into the microphone.
2. Edit your work. If your episodes are consistently more than an hour long, I will move on without listening. There is no subject I want to hear about for that long that can't be either restructured into smaller episodes, or more strongly edited.
