Steadcast
A curated magazine of the podcasts worth your time.
From the editor· Updated Thu, May 21
This is the editorial side of Steadcast. The Mac app is where you listen; here is where we tell you what to listen to, and why.
About 118 podcasts so far — long-form conversations, narrative reporting, and patient explainers across science, history, business, philosophy, technology, health, society, and craft. Every episode we've ingested carries its full transcript, so you can read what was said, search what you need, and jump back into the audio when you find your spot. The point isn't to replace listening; it's to make listening searchable and revisitable.
If you're new and want a place to start: The Rest Is History for narrative history that respects your time, Acquired for company-story journalism with the patience to spend three hours on Berkshire Hathaway and never lose the thread, and Dwarkesh for the longest, most patient AI conversations on the web. Three different shows, three different reasons to come back.
The catalog is in active growth. Editorial lists are coming. If there's a show you think belongs here, tell us.

Business podcasts that go deep on actual companies
Most business podcasts are interviews with consultants about consulting. These five skip the platitudes and go straight to the actual mechanics — how specific companies were built, what their operators decided, and why it worked or didn't. Start here if you want to understand how businesses really function, not just how founders talk about them.
