Podcasts we love: The Knowledge Project

Collective wisdom, broken down into topics discussed by the wisest people: The Knowledge Project by Farnam Street is billed as a podcast that helps listeners “master the best of what other people have already figured out” by running thematic episodes with “knowledge experts” on each theme / subject area. The episodes don’t focus on any single topic or issue, which is exactly what makes it so appealing: This podcast has content that is as diverse as any person’s life is expected to be. There’s also something to be said about the fact that the podcast doesn’t abide by a certain structure or time limit — each episode is given the time and space it needs for the full conversation to be fleshed out. For example, one of our favorite episodes (Cracking the Code of Love with Dr. Sue Johnson) is over two hours long (but worth every minute), while another (Thinking in Algorithms with Ali Mossawi) runs just under 20 minutes. Just as there is a topic for everyone, there is also an episode length for every occasion.
