It's that time of the year again. The Economist has released their best podcasts of 2024 list - https://archive.ph/Bh2Y0#selection-977.4-977.25

Personal favorites:

Conversations with Tyler - Tobi Lütke on Creating Shopify for Americans as a German in Canada (Ep. 221). I found Tobi's viewpoint as a European who has set up a business in North America to be particularly interesting and unique.

The Rest is Politics - Trump Returns: What Now? I was not pleased by the result but this podcast helped me process it and understand some of the reasoning behind it.

The Social Radars - Dan Siroker. First time coming across the Optimizely story and found it a fascinating one.

What's on your list?

The best podcast of 2024 ran from 2007 to 2012

https://thehistoryofrome.typepad.com/the_history_of_rome/200...

I listened to all 179 episodes of the History of Rome podcast.

From a simpler time before advertising.

179- The End The history of The History of Rome...Why the Western Empire Fell when it did...Some thoughts on the future...Thank you, goodnight.

178- Not With A Bang But A Whimper In the last few years of the Western Empire a series of Emperors came and went. The cycle finally ended in 476 with the exile of Romulus Augustulus.

177- The Burning Ships In 468 the two halves of the Empire combined forces to dislodge the Vandals from North Africa.They failed spectacularly.

Yeah, I checked again and I am getting ads. The link for the first episode is this: http://traffic.libsyn.com/historyofrome/01-_In_the_Beginning...

It looks like it then routes the user to another link. Sometimes you get this one which has ads https://teletraan.libsyn.com

and sometimes you get this one that doesn't have ads: https://content.libsyn.com
