I really appreciate podcast hosts who: 1) Allow guests to speak without interrupting them too often. 2) Don't add noise like "uh-huh, yeah, etc." during the conversation. 3) Are constantly aware of the listening experience and ensure it's smooth. P.S. Can I coin LX now?

I recently listened to the new Derek Sivers episodes. There's a lot of overlap, but his story and view on life are really interesting and motivating. A few of them are worth listening to: sivers.org/podcast. I also like JRE, depending on the guest. Three great ones: 1054, 1159, 1108.

1) guilty, 2) guilty, 3) very aware. Will make greater efforts going forward.

Armchair Expert almost has a sarcastic tone most of the time, if you don't properly picture Dax Shepard's goofy ass while he throws those around.

Point number two reminds me of Kara Swisher. She's constantly uh-huhing. I find it very aggravating and almost impossible to listen to her cause I keep thinking about how annoying it is.

I know it's something we often do in conversation (where it bothers me much less), but it's so much more jarring in a podcast. And of course it adds nothing but noise for the listener... it's merely an indulgence of the host at the cost of a smooth listening experience.

Also, vocal fry and upspeak seem to be creeping into podcasts, along with interjecting politics into everything. Sometimes I just want to listen to an engineering podcast.

Since you mentioned engineering podcasts are there any which you particularly like and would recommend?

I listened to a podcast episode once where the host talked about the necessity of having a "podcast voice" separate from a regular speaking voice when recording a podcast.
