I echo Jesse's, the content out the Polsky Center is really great. In addition to he Polsky Center podcast they also have done a multi-part series about ETA on youtube (first one linked here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=60ZOJolZwOo). I also recently discovered Alex Bridgeman's "Think Like an Owner" and am enjoying that as well.

Jonathan Jay's I found interesting

I'd throw in the Focused Compounding podcast. It's a value investing podcast focused on publicly traded companies, but it's been invaluable for understanding competition, a few random industries, and financials. I think searchers vastly underestimate the value that's in the disclosures public companies have to make. Obviously, the big difference is that a searcher will have control of a company but an investor in publicly traded stocks usually has very little control.

Think Like an Owner and the Polsky Center's podcast are obviously the go-to ones for search-specific information.

"Rational Reminder" - on personal finance. Strong emphasis on factor investing - value, size, momentum, quality, etc. Relevant here since some factors (eg, small-cap, value) are implicit in the standard search criteria for some PE and searchers.

Interesting discussion on expected returns for PE: https://youtu.be/AVIq47Z0XOo?t=3486

Invest Like the Best - Patrick O'Shaughnessy not strictly ETA related but great for investing/operating content. This is my 'must listen' each week: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/invest-like-the-best/id1154105909

+1 For Think like an owner with Alex Bridgeman https://alexbridgeman.com/podcast/. He also has a Micro PE podcast playlist on Spotify that's great https://open.spotify.com/playlist/5E3olbDxR4QiJQxK2UZS5d?si=63-IBQ9wQWi4aK5taVUDFw. Also +1 for Invest like the best with Patrick O'Shaughnessy.

Agree that Alex Bridgeman is very informative

Great recommendations!

+1 for Alex Bridgeman and Invest Like the Best (Patrick O'Shaughnessy). I also like Barry Ritholz Masters in Business https://ritholtz.com/about-masters-in-business/

The Alternative Investor podcast also has a few really good interviews. I particularly liked the one with Nick Haschka of Cub Investments.

Adding the Acquisitions Anonymous podcast to the list (https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/acquisitions-anonymous/id1533153678). The hosts evaluate and discuss 3 deals on the market during each episode.

This is goldmine

Will share mine.
No fluff to the point strategist
The Business Acquisition Podcast with Bruce Whipple on Podbean, check it out! https://www.podbean.com/pa/dir-beueg-96108

These are so great. Adding all to my list.

I've been listening to The Founder, which is with CEO/Founders from start-up ventures, but still provides some valuable operating insights within smaller companies.
