+The only podcast I was able to listen for more than 3 series was [BBC][bbc]:
+mostly "history" and "life stories". Over the last ~10 years I tried many
+others, but nothing clicked for a longer engagement.
+
+A few months ago I stumbled across Adam Gordon Bell's
+[corecursive][corecursive]. My first episode was with [Richard Hipp][hipp], the
+creator of SQLite. It was great. The second one was with about [zig][zig]. The
+average episode is so good that I just downloaded them all to slowly go through
+them.
+
+If you want to take out something from this post, listen to the three episodes
+below, even if you are not a developer yourself[^1]:
+
+- [The Untold Story of SQLite With Richard Hipp][hipp].
+- [Full-Time Open Source With Andrew Kelley][zig].
+- [Memento Mori With Kate Gregory][kate-gregory].
+
+The last in this list triggered to write out this recommendation. I spent a few
+weeks trying to put my finger why I like Adam's podcast so much. And today I
+understood: Adam is empathetic, he can listen, and really, really make people
+talk.
+
+I recommend listening to the three above, even if you are not a developer
+yourself. You may find yourself in my position — downloading the archive and
+becoming inspired.
+
+[^1]: in that case I recommend starting with Kate Gregory.
