Completely agree.
When I used to listen to bitcoin podcasts regularly,
Ah yeah, I am burnt out on them also. The recent drama has actually been quite useful in filtering who to pay attention to and who to ignore. I don't recall ever seeing so many bad takes in Bitcoin before.
Glad I’m not the only one tired of podcasts spouting the same silliness…. I feel there are a lot of people all shouting the same noise at one another. Very little patience, barely any discussion and no nuance.

Anyone you still listen to these days?

I have a range (politics, economics etc) but BTC related/andjacnet its only WBD and Peter St Onge’s weekly round up.
Any recommendations beyond the mainstream usual suspects?

I guess WBD if there's a good guest on, and NVK's Bitcoin Review podcast for technical stuff.
Not so interested in the macro TBH, lots of voices over the last couple of years have been rather off-base (although probably directionally correct in the long term).

These are the only two explicitly btc podcasts I listen to anymore as well, sounds like in the same way that you do: if there's someone on where there's a chance they'll say something I haven't heard 1000x before; or if there's a technical topic I want a hearty discussion about. How people can produce yet another version of the same old macro or "we are such geniuses for liking btc" or NGU bullshit is beyond me.
The real alpha in btc right now, imo, is to have an extremely limited btc media intake and to spend your cycles learning new things about the world outside your normal experience. I can enthusiastically endorse the Dwarkesh podcast that I discovered a few months ago. This weekend I spent a couple of hours listening to one of the eps, and another couple hours writing notes on it, which has never happened before.

I concur with your opinion - get out of the BTC bubble for a part of your day. SN is great but I rarely talk about bitcoin here..
Thank you for the recommendation! Interested in the Dom C one… he’s certainly a character with strong ideas!
My podcast chill out is probably ‘99% invisible’ - it’s about design mainly.

Ha -- that's the one I've spent 4 hours with. Intending to post a writeup here When I Get Around To It.

Please tag me or stick a note in the Saloon when you do. Rumours of a comeback to the UK government are doing the rounds…
I think we, as individuals, need to focus on incorporating Bitcoin into our lives and ways of working and demonstrating that to others rather than standing around shouting at people saying ‘when moon?’ And ‘we so early’..
