Making Sense with Sam Harris
Neuroscientist, philosopher and author Sam Harris discusses religion, philosophy, the nature of mind, meditation, politics, intellectualism and psychedelic mushrooms in this podcast, through thoughtful and intense discussion with a guest.
Near-enough every single episode of Harris’ podcast is worth your time; but here are a few that really stand out:
- #62 What is True? – Jordan Peterson
- #73 Forbidden Knowledge – Charles Murray
- #144 Conquering Hate – Deeyah Khan
- #148 Jack Dorsey
- #154 What Do Jihadists Really Want?
- #173 Anti-Semitism and Its Discontents – Bari Weiss
- #175 Leaving the Faith – Yasmine Mohammed
- #178 The Reality Illusion – Donald Hoffman and Annaka Harris
- #182 Unlearning Race – Thomas Chatterton Williams
The Lex Fridman Podcast
Fridman, a lecturer and researcher at MIT has guests on his podcast to discuss AI at an intellectual, rather than technical level. Covering AI safety, nature of mind, conciousness, and leading figures in the field of AI, he also broadens the scope of the podcast to talk physics, maths and whatever else will generate an engaging and thoughtful discussion.
Within Reason
Hosted by Alex O'Connor, covering philosophy and religion.
The Joe Rogan Experience
The JRE Podcast is well known and widely followed. I tend to only listen to the political, pholosophical and technological episodes.
Comedian and MMA guru Rogan will have pretty-much anyone on his podcast, a reputation that has helped the show become the-place for opening up discussion on any topic, controversial or not.
These are a few stand out – and infamous – episodes from the show:
