I've been working at @podcastnotes for almost 2 years.

During that time, I've taken notes on 400+ podcasts.

Here are my top 10 favorite podcasts of all-time.

(thread) 🧵

10/ Naval Ravikant (@naval) on The Knowledge Project (@ShaneAParrish)

Taking notes on this podcast landed me the job at PN and introduced me to the vast wisdom of Naval.

I loved learning about Naval's reading system, his advice on happiness, how he views habits, and much more.
9/ Josh Wolfe (@wolfejosh) on Invest Like The Best (@patrick_oshag)

Josh is a brilliant investor with an arsenal of fascinating mental models.

A few of my favorites:

• Don't be boring (2x)
• 100-0-100 investing strategy
• Chips on shoulders put chips in pockets
8/ Mike Tyson (@MikeTyson) on JRE (@joerogan)

Mike is a savage but he's also incredibly wise.

Growing up, he studied all the great conquerors from Genghis Khan to Charlemagne. What did he learn from that? The hardest thing to conquer is yourself. A must-watch podcast for sure.
7/ Bret Weinstein (@BretWeinstein) on The Portal (@EricRWeinstein)

Bret discovered that tests on lab mice were flawed because of selected breeding and that basically all drug testing should be redone.

He should've won a Nobel Prize for that discovery but he got robbed.
6/ Tim O'Neil (@chaosmansonbook) on JRE (@joerogan)

Remember all those rumors about the CIA & FBI doing illegal experiments on people and trying to brainwash them?

Yeah so that's basically true and there's legitimate evidence to back it up. Guess some conspiracies are correct.
5/ Jonny Kim (@JonnyKimUSA) on Jocko Podcast (@jockowillink)

Jonny Kim is a modern-day renaissance man.

He served as a Navy SEAL with Jocko, went to Harvard Medical School, and now he's a NASA astronaut. He's a reminder that human potential know's no bounds. Get after it guys.
4/ David Goggins (@davidgoggins) on JRE

Goggins is truly one of the hardest men on the planet. A former Navy SEAL turned ultra-endurance athlete. If you want to get in shape or become mentally tougher, study him.

More of us should strive to be uncommon amongst uncommon people.
3/ Jocko Willink (@jockowillink) on JRE

There's so much to learn from Jocko, I don't know where to begin.

From Exterme Ownership, to GOOD, to the truth about war being the best & worst experience, why you should stay humble, and more.

He's been a huge role model in my life.
2/ Elon Musk (@elonmusk) on JRE

The podcast that broke the internet.

We got to peek inside the mind of a genius, get updates on all the incredible companies he's working on, hear the pros and cons of being Elon, watch him smoke a blunt, and learn that love is the answer.
1/ JBP (@jordanbpeterson) on Jocko Podcast

What more could you ask for than two of your favorite authors talking for 3.5 hours?

This podcast gets dark & deep, but they also share many of the reasons why life is worth living. My life changed forever after watching it.

मुंबईतील प्रसिद्ध किताबखाना ला लागलेली आग आपल्या सर्वांच्या मनाला चटका लावणारी होती. त्या आगीत सुमारे 95 लाख किमतीच्या 45,000 पुस्तकांचं नुकसान झालं. एकूण नुकसान दोन कोटींच्या घरात गेलं. तरीही किताबखाना पुन्हा सुरू करण्याचं स्वप्न आहे समीर आणि अमृता सोमैया यांचं.

त्यांनीच दहा वर्षांपूर्वी मुंबईत ही सुंदर स्पेस तयार केली.त्यांच्या जगप्रवासात विविध पुस्तकांनी त्यांना वेड लावलं.अशी एक कम्युनिटी स्पेस मुंबईतही करायची,या ध्येयाने त्यांनी किताबखानाची निर्मिती केली.अमृताचे वडील प्रसिद्ध आर्किटेक्ट जगदीश मिस्त्री यांनी किताबखाना डिझाईन केला होता.

लाईव इवेंट्स, पुस्तक वाचन, काला घोडा फेस्ट्वलचे कार्यक्रम, उत्तमोत्तम पुस्तकं, लहान मुलांसाठीचा पुस्तकांचा स्वतंत्र विभाग ही किताबखानाची सर्व खासियत कायम राहणार आहे.
सध्या तिथे रिस्टोरेशनचं काम सुरू आहे. समीर आणि अमृता यांची मी घेतलेली मुलाखत आणि बातमी शेअर करत आहे.

दोन मार्चला किताबखाना वाचकांसाठी पुन्हा सुरू करायचा समीर आणि अमृता सोमैया यांचा प्रयत्न आहे. किताबखाना कॅफे आता इनहाऊस चालवला जाईल. @JairajSinghR @KitabKhanaBooks @UpadhyayaP12

Fake chats claiming to be from the Irish African community are being disseminated by the far right in order to suggest that violence is imminent from #BLM supporters. This is straight out of the QAnon and Proud Boys playbook. Spread the word. Protest safely. #georgenkencho


There is co-ordination across the far right in Ireland now to stir both left and right in the hopes of creating a race war. Think critically! Fascists see the tragic killing of #georgenkencho, the grief of his community and pending investigation as a flashpoint for action.


Across Telegram, Twitter and Facebook disinformation is being peddled on the back of these tragic events. From false photographs to the tactics ofwhite supremacy, the far right is clumsily trying to drive hate against minority groups and figureheads.


Declan Ganley’s Burkean group and the incel wing of National Party (Gearóid Murphy, Mick O’Keeffe & Co.) as well as all the usuals are concerted in their efforts to demonstrate their white supremacist cred. The quiet parts are today being said out loud.


The best thing you can do is challenge disinformation and report posts where engagement isn’t appropriate. Many of these are blatantly racist posts designed to drive recruitment to NP and other Nationalist groups. By all means protest but stay safe.
