Many users enthusiastically recommended podcasts like The Rest is History and Philosophize This because they value their insightful coverage of history and philosophy.
@S_OhEigeartaigh BBC Sounds - I get Newscast, The Global Story, Radical with Amol Rajan; Strong Message Here & Friday Night Comedy to lighten the tone. Start the Week and some of In Our Time to get "in a tutorial and didn't do the reading" nostalgia.
Speaking from my experience, the shorter ones in the @stratechery podcast family (especially the main one and “Dithering”) are great for new dads. Short, current, razor sharp ideas. @cowenconvos is the other must-listen for me even though it’s a bit long for this dad’s lifestyle (and it’s only an hour.) I have to work hard to listen to anything longer, though of course some @dwarkesh_sp episodes are worth the time. (Once past a couple of hours I find audio books much easier to pick up and put down.) Also have enjoyed many episodes of @david_perell’s “How I Write”.
Philosophize this! It reminds me of parental leave with my first and added so much breadth to my philosophy education. He is also great at weaving a narrative path across episodes while keeping them self contained enough for you to jump around. I think it's the perfect backdrop to spending time with your baby, which makes you ponder the big things while simultaneously being objectively quite boring.
@S_OhEigeartaigh I've become more of an audiobooks person since having my son - really rate Dungeon Crawler Carl and The Splendid and the Vile.
@S_OhEigeartaigh I love @Fall_of_Civ_Pod as a specific lens on history.
Lex Friedman seems out of fashion on Twitter but can be a great listen if you pick episodes.
@Pragmatic_Eng if you pick AI related episodes.
These plus Dwarkesh should cover plenty of your park time :)
@S_OhEigeartaigh Huge fan of The Rest is History as well as Philosophize This! though I confess I have not listened to a podcast in ages 😅

@S_OhEigeartaigh For some deep dives in history, I'd suggest Dan Carlin's podcast
@S_OhEigeartaigh Not related to any of the topics you listed (maybe history-ish) but I love Acquired! Superb work put into each episode.
@S_OhEigeartaigh Dwarkesh, history of Japan by isaac meyer, empire, ezra klein, @corememory, night science, the rest is politics

@S_OhEigeartaigh Do we call them strollers now? I thought it was only the yanks used that word.

@S_OhEigeartaigh For short form, I'd skip the empty calories of Serial but S-Town is legitimately good, holds up very well.
@S_OhEigeartaigh Odd lots, and the Rest Is History, are all you need!
@S_OhEigeartaigh History of Philosophy Without Any Gaps Dwarkesh Sean Carroll's Mindscape
@agstrait I've never heard of these, but the names are incredible
@S_OhEigeartaigh My 4 most-listened podcasts are The Rest Is History, Empire, Sean Carroll's Mindscape Podcast, and Robinson's Podcast. All very enjoyable in my view.
