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?

Tides of History is probably the best history podcast I've ever listened to. Instead of a sequential retelling of events it focuses much more on cause and effects and presents a holistic analysis of archaeological findings, anthropology, genetics etc. merged with historical sources/texts.

I really loved the episodes on Ancient Rome and Italy that came out earlier this year. A completely opposite approach of History of Rome (which is also great but the early episodes on the "prehistorical" period were pretty meh.. of course it massively improved by the time it reached the mid/late Republic and especially during the Imperial period).
