Last few days I've been liking Joe Scott, on science topics:

I'll check out Joe when I get a chance. Mostly I listen to podcasts since the only free time I get is while working out, driving, or laying in bed. I'd listen to Youtube if I could figure out how to keep the audio playing while my phone is locked.
I have to listen to Jordan peterson at 1x, and still miss stuff because a moment of losing focus means I've missed something important. Ben talks too fast as it is, so it's already like listening in 1.3x speed. Maybe I can listen to Sam Harris at 1.5x. Too bad the iPhone doesn't have an inbetween speed as I think 1.25 is generally good.
