What are your favorite trade-specific or otherwise niche podcasts that are not necessarily intended for mass consumption? - eviltoast

I am curious about podcasts with high quality content but that are pretty centered around specific topics like hobbies or particular professions.

For example, there are a handful of ham radio podcasts such as Linux In The Ham Shack.

Tell me about some podcasts that keep you up in your interests or career that wouldn’t make sense to share with most people you know.

      On the topic of software engineering, I’ve been loving to listen to Soft Skills Engineering. Weekly questions answered on workplace conundrums.

    FWIW I am also weirdly appreciative of the government accountability office watchdog report, in case this helps with direction.

    I recently found the American Revolution Podcast by Michael Troy which goes intro insane details about the war. 300+ ~25 minute episodes going into detail on every aspect leading up to and during the war, with a dash of dry humor.

    The Mahabharata podcast, both the one by Lawrence Manzo and Aarti Dhand. I haven’t checked in a long time, but Aarti’s wasn’t finished yet. Lawrence’s is. Both are fantastic.
