These are the best episodes of The Tim Ferriss Show podcast. I've compiled the most interesting interviews that Tim has conducted over the years, including Malcolm Gladwell, Tony Robins, Arnold Schwarzenegger, etc. I've also included interviews with less famous guests where the podcast dives into fascinating topics lik...

June 21, 2016 | 1:37:55s | I've been a fan of Malcolm Gladwell for a long time and this conversation is endlessly interesting. One of the great things about Tim Ferriss is how he gets his guests to talk about the most benign parts of their work in ways that are fascinati | |||||||||||
June 10, 2014 | -- | 1:19:13s | I listen to the Tim Ferriss show because it's all about pushing the limits, so this episode appealed to me because it explores health from a different angle. One of the best episodes because it's all about the science. | ||||||||||
February 2, 2015 | 1:14:41s | The Terminator!! I honestly had no idea Arnold Schwarzenegger was so intelligent. I can easily see how he was elected governor. In this podcast Tim does a good job of getting Arnold to reveal pieces of his past. | |||||||||||
March 22, 2016 | 1:52:40s | I'm an avid chess player so I already knew who Josh Waitzkin was. What I wasn't prepared for was how deep this episode gets into the general idea of problem solving and how Tim has used a lot of the same processes in his own experiments. Might | |||||||||||
November 27, 2019 | 2:47:05s | Surprised that this didn't come across as totally crazy. I had heard of Peter Attia before but always thought he was a snake oil fitness person. What I got instead was a look at fitness from the inside out. Great episode. | |||||||||||
September 14, 2015 | 1:47:07s | The Tim Ferriss Show podcast makes we want to do drugs. That might sound weird but it's true. This is by far the best podcast to explain the benefits of mind-altering drugs. Still a tea-totaler, but this podcast intrigued me. | |||||||||||
June 30, 2018 | 1:53:32s | Sure Tim Ferriss interviewing people is fun, but what about someone interviewing Tim Ferriss? I felt like I had known a lot given I read 4 Hour Work Week and listened to the podcast religiously, but I learned so much more about who Tim Ferriss | |||||||||||
October 9, 2014 | -- | 1:43:27s | This was from the phase where Tim was into investing and since Alexis is the rockstar of investing, it's a natural fit. Tim has since stopped investing, but at the time the Tim Ferriss Show was one of the top investing podcasts. | ||||||||||
May 4, 2016 | 2:16:12s | Mike Rowe is a treasure and this episode is the best interview I've heard with him. He details his past and how he got started on Discovery Channel. Tim's interview skills show very well in this podcast. | |||||||||||
August 18, 2015 | 2:11:50s | Again from back in the investing days. This episode has Tim interviewing Naval Ravikant who was the perfect combination of startup and investor. Cool to have a guest who can talk about both. | |||||||||||
August 9, 2016 | 1:34:23s | As Gary Vaynerchuk says, Tony Robbins is a legend. He's been on the Tim Ferriss Show a ton of times but this is my pick for his best appearance. The conversation is very natural while also unearthing quality bits of wisdom. | |||||||||||
November 8, 2016 | 1:01:55s | Any best podcast list has to include some tie-in with Freakonomics, right? Super interesting and better than his first interview. | |||||||||||
May 10, 2018 | -- | 2:07:52s | There are too many men on this list, but I didn't put this episode on just because the guest is a woman. Instead this is a terrific look into startup life and what women have to do to compete in an unfair world. Tim's interviewing skills were g | ||||||||||
September 21, 2016 | -- | 1:19:04s | By now, most Tim Ferriss fans know Jocko, but back then he was a new voice. I learned so much from this episode and have become a fan of Jocko. Another candidate for the very best episode of this podcast. | ||||||||||
December 6, 2015 | -- | 2:29:31s | Jamie Foxx is not only Tim Ferriss' funniest guest, but one of the hardest working. I enjoyed hearing about his work ethic when it came to comedy. Tim is also a great interviewer in this episode. Highly recommended as one of the Time Ferriss Sh | ||||||||||
October 27, 2015 | 1:35:51s | I was only a little bit aware of who Casey Neistat was before this podcast, but now I consider myself a fan. There are so many episodes of the podcast that have interesting guests, but this is one of the few that made me seek out more interview | |||||||||||
June 3, 2014 | 57:43s | ||||||||||||
June 27, 2015 | -- | 2:28:49s | Whitney Cummings gained my respect in this episode. And actually so did Tim Ferriss. While funny in spots, this podcast is actually more introspective and highlights just how much hard work goes into success. One of the top episodes because it' | ||||||||||
July 11, 2014 | -- | 1:23:05s | As far as Tim Ferriss interviews go, James Altucher is one of the best. This is an extremely early version of the show and you get a sense that Tim is still excited for the podcast. James is strange yet engaging and you learn a lot about what m | ||||||||||
December 16, 2019 | 26:58s | This one is relatively recent, but the guests are monumentally strong. Seth Godin is a legend and Esther Perel is super duper insightful. Two guests in one podcast, also brought this onto my list of the best Tim Ferriss podcasts. Superb intervi | |||||||||||
