Sampford’s Top Tech Business Podcasts

Getting into Podcasts but don’t know where to start?  Well, hopefully we can help, because we’re podcast addicts! 

There’s so many tech podcasts out there and its hard to find the ones with the best content. So, we’ve listed our favorites below and why – let us know if you have others you like so we can check them out:

Canadian Tech Guy – this is going to seem biased and that’s because it is!  We created our own podcast because we didn’t see anyone else pumping out good content for the Canadian tech ecosystem.  We post weekly first thing Monday morning our “Monday Morning Minutes” which summarizes in 3-4 minutes the latest tech news.  We also interview executives from Canadian tech companies (including our first interview with Bruce Linton).

Tim Ferriss Show – The gold standard in podcasts, Tim has had some amazing guests on his show.  His podcasts are definitely on the longer side with some of them running over 2 hours!  But the content and guests are second to none!

Y-Combinator – Between interviewing tech legends and some of their latest batch of accelerator candidates, this is an interesting show.

Rework – This is a podcast from Basecamp, who’s founders challenge the conventional business ideas (including the need to raise VC capital).

Akimbo by Seth Godin – Seth is a blogging legend and it turns out he also has a podcast that always has some good nuggets of information.

A16Z from Andreessen Horowitz – Obviously AH is a VC legend and their content is usually pretty good.  Especially their “16 Minutes in the News” segment on this podcast.

And if you have kids who are also getting into podcasts, our favorite is the Warrior Kid Podcast from the legend of a former Navy Seal Jocko Willink – this podcast will definitely straighten out your kids (http://warriorkid.libsyn.com/)
