Podcasts: What you should be listening to

Here are four great podcasts and audiobooks that might just give you a fresh outlook and a different perspective on the world

1. The Rich Roll Podcast

   Regular readers will remember our advocacy of Finding Ultra, Roll’s seminal biography. His podcasts are a gentle, personal, long-form listen, ideal for a long slow run (something RR would approve of). With expert guests, Rich tackles the big topics, like trauma, social media, athletic performance and longevity. His Roll On rambles with pal Adam Skolnick have more levity and are a good entry point.

2. Alcohol Lied To Me: The Intelligent Escape from Alcohol Addiction

   Craig Beck’s book is a hard-hitting journey of emancipation. Beck is an English expat and the lack of Americanised hyperbole is a blessing. Beck gives it to us straight: his own struggles with drink, his way out, where we go wrong when trying to quit and a deep dive into the fallacy of will power. Many takeaways to help break any unwanted habit.

3. The Unofficial Partner Podcast with Richard Gillis

   Richard Gillis, our very own GBQ columnist, knows his onions and his sport business. His content is pithy, informed, insightful and entertaining. The ever-changing world of sports broadcasting is a go-to topic but, alongside expert guests, Gillis tackles a broad gamut of sports business quandaries. You will be left with soundbites galore, making you appear much smarter than you are. What’s not to like?

4. Making Sense – Sam Harris

   Optimism for the ears. Rather than a world divided by good and evil, Sam sees people as individuals with vastly different points of view inspired by their own unique experiences and backgrounds. Each podcast episode features guests from academia, journalism, politics, and culture. He doesn't always feature guests he agrees with – the goal is a bona fide debate.
