About This List

As most of us spend more time at home for the foreseeable future, I'd like to spend the next few weeks sharing and appreciating a free resource where we can find entertainment, education and inspiration: podcasts! Over the next 30 days, I'll be posting some of my favorite podcast episodes on my social media -- and I'll link them all here so that you can browse through them all. I'll avoid any COVID-19 topics (we're all inundated with that already), but the topics will vary between business and pleasure, serious and fun. I hope you enjoy discovering these podcasts and the incredibly talented podcasters who create them!

Wilt Chamberlain’s brilliant career was marred by one, deeply inexplicable decision: He chose a shooting technique that made him one of the worst foul shooters in basketball—even though he had tried a better alternative. Why do smart people do
Beyond6
Revisionist History is the first podcast I ever listened to, and what got me hooked on the world of podcasts.

Build For Tomorrow
Wearing A Walkman Was Illegal

Today's critics say that smartphones separate us. We no longer make the kind of in-person human connections that we once did, they say. Well... In this episode, take a trip back to the 1980s — when the portable cassette player was accused of tu
Beyond6
Pessimists Archive explores the reasons why societies vehemently reject new technology before eventually embracing it -- it's a pattern that happens over and over again. This is the first episode, which talks about the outrage that the Walkman created when it was first introduced. (I remember this moment in history, so it's interesting to hear it deconstructed here!)

This is a great daily podcast by Mario Armstrong, who brings focused motivation a few minutes a day! On my podcast (Beyond 6 Seconds - episode 92), Mario and I talked about this topic of how to move past fear and leverage it to your advantage, so I picked out this episode where Mario expands more on this topic that we all face at one time or another!
