I have to concentrate at work from time to time so I have purchased noise cancellation Bose headphones.

I was listening to Joe Rogan who had Alex Jones on his show (Ep #911) which is great comedy. I do have a lot of time to listen trough my headphones although I'll miss a bunch because I'm focusing on work. Beats listening to colleagues talk and airplanes flying over (all sorts of airliners fly over at <1000ft all day long).

So anyways, I'm looking for liberty podcasts that are;

1. Fun to listen to, although my sense of humor is a bit warped.
2. Informative.
3. Non repetitive, I don't like the same old, same old stuff.
4. Critical.

In that order.

So if anyone has any ideas or maybe not but you could just tell me what your favorite libertarian podcast is. And yes my definition of a 'liberty podcast' includes Joe Rogan.

I'm a podcast addict. I have a list of about 40 on music, politics and science that I try to keep up with.

These are probably my favorite liberty-related ones:
Antiwar Radio/Scott Horton https://scotthorton.org/tag/antiwar-radio/ (He's just the very best there is at exposing the warfare state. An unsung hero)
Reason TV http://reason.com/search?f[pagetype][]=all-reasontv-videos
Mises.org (tons of old talks and audiobooks plus current events podcasts)
The Libertarian Angle http://www.fff.org/freedom-in-motion/videos/series/1-the-libertarian-angle/

My absolute favorite podcast is Dan Carlin's Common Sense. Is he a libertarian? Maybe but not quite. He clearly had a thing for Ron Paul and has spent a lot of time trumpeting Rand Paul's virtue to the liberal side of his audience. He discusses current politics and events and their historical context in an open way that bizarrely seems to appeal and be enriching to just about anybody across the political spectrum. He's extremely engaging and can be very funny but it might take a few shows to settle in. I strongly recommend Common Sense. His Hardcore History podcasts are a whole nother thing and maybe the ultimate achievement in podcasting.

These are great too although I listen to them with a critical ear:
School Sucks http://schoolsucksproject.com/
Contra Krugman
Tom Woods Show
Lew Rockwell Show
Jason Stapleton Program http://www.jasonstapleton.com/category/podcast/

Others on my list that I check into from time to time:
Anarchast - On Youtube.
Yaron Brook Show/Radical Capitalist https://ari.aynrand.org/live?utm_so...ium=tiles&utm_term=20160328&utm_campaign=aria
Cato Institute Daily Podcast (http://www.cato.org/multimedia/daily-podcast)
Freedomain Radio (Stephan Molyneux) Even though he's completely jumped the shark in the last year, start from the beginning and your thoughts will be provoked. At his best he could at one time say really outlandish things that would still make you stretch your own thinking even if you remain in disagreement. He's a case study in somebody who started out rigorously objectivist until a baby girl nuked all that uncompromising dogma to kingdom come.
Learn Liberty (learnliberty.org, short, polished and instructive Youtube videos put out with great frequency)
 
Free Talk Live - great for killing time.
I'll check them out tomorrow. I'll report back.

Thank you for the feedback. I've listened to Tom woods and Stephan Molyneux before. Molyneux can be funny but I must say I mostly find him frustrating to listen to. He used to make good philosophical points though.

From your list, who has the most varied guests ? What I like in particular is if opposing views meet and have a civil debate.

Totally agree about Molyneux.

Ones that are more guest interview oriented are Antiwar Radio, School Sucks and Jason Stapleton Program (he did a great semi-hardball interview with Darryl Castle). And Lew Rockwell Show. Even if Lew himself drones on, his guests can keep things lively. Like with Molyneux, I've grown apart from his approach, but he's still essential.

By the way, except when the host is making significant dough from podcasting, these shows can be sporadic. For awhile you'll get a show every week and then they'll peter off to one every couple months. I think every one of these has an archive and I like listening to the old shows just as much as the new ones. Hearing people's observations and predictions from 10 years ago and seeing how they panned out is endlessly fascinating to me.

Just put Jason Stapleton on, had never listened to him before. Heard about him a couple times. I may get some for tomorrow... But I have to download it because the Bluetooth on my work-PC sucks and the cord irritates me, and the damn headphones are wireless so I should use them wireless.
 
Adam Carolla is pretty funny and on point some times, I haven't listened to his podcast in a long time but I used to listen to his and Joe Rogan's.
