I'm always in search of high quality newsletters and podcasts that will inform with depth not reached by mass news media and will feed my mind with new ideas. I'd be grateful for suggestions people can add to my list! Here's my current list of things where I read / listen to pretty much everything that comes out:


[LIST UPDATED SEPTEMBER 2020 based on my own actual reading/listening and trimming the list]

A Few Tips

Overcast.FM has the best high speed listening functionality I've found among any podcast app for those looking to accelerate your listening / content consumption. Also their smart playlists are pretty useful.

I've greatly increased my reading volume by filtering my inbox to a separate reading folder. Newsletters that come in are automatically tagged (by the google machine using a filter) as reading and archived to that folder. When I have time to read and think, I open that folder and get busy.
