I'll keep this short and simple: I recently started a research opportunity that entails somewhat of a long commute. Can anyone recommend podcasts I could listen to? I just finished my M1 year.

My Dad Wrote a Porno.

Three Brits read the porno one mans father wrote to begin his writing career in his 60's. It's gold.

Does the white coat investor podcast go into detail about financial managing techniques pertinent for medical students too? Or is it more geared towards doctors who have finally transitioned into the money earning period of their careers?

If you are trying to decide on a specialty I highly recommend The Undifferentiated Medical Student

I have a fairly long commute, and I listen to more comedy and politics than anything medically-related. So, I would suggest The Daily from the New York Times for a quick 15-20 minute world news update, and Pardon My Take/Pat McAfee Show for sports comedy. If you want straight sports talk then Colin Cowherd's 'The Herd' or Mike and Mike.

Many of the major newspapers also do nice pieces on Spotify. They do their reports of each topic in 10-15 minute segments that you can skip through or choose one by the track name

Not exactly a podcast, but I always enjoy ZdoggMD's stuff on youtube. Against Medical Advice, Incident Report, etc.
 
Appreciate the recommendations here... I've been a die-hard fan of the Adam Carolla network of podcasts, but I got a podcast app and will start checking some of these out for variety.

Made it through the first season of Serial today - very interesting.

My recommendation would be The Weekly Infusion, hosted by Dr. Drew Pinsky (of Loveline fame) and an ED physician discussing a variety of issues which are generally related to medicine, some more tangentially so than others.

It's not a podcast, but "WireTap with Jonathan Goldstein" from the CBC is like a comedy This American Life/Radiolab: essays and interviews interspersed with phone skits.

EMRAP. Pretty much the most useful podcast for medicine as it covers emergency medicine, aka: everything.
 
Specialty Stories - especially for an M!

"Dan Lebatard Show with Stugotz" is king of sports talk/comedy. They're big on inside jokes so you'll have to listen for a bit to really get into it but now it's arguably the best 90mins of my day.

Also recently started listening to NYC Crime Report with Pat Dixon. Super dark/offensive comedy if you're into that sort of thing
 
Check out the Hippocratic Hustle Podcast. Its a podcast for women physicians (and med-students and residents). Starting next week we will also have biweekly episodes with MissBonnieMD a dermatologist and personal finance blogger to talk about financial topics (student loans, physician mortgages, retirement planning, etc). Its aimed at women but I think men would enjoy it too!

This is the right answer. But if you're looking to mix it up, Dustyn Williams of OnlineMedEd makes for a good time on any commute/date/family gathering/party/day at the beach.
 
Ear Hustle is a new one out today produced and made by two guys in prison. Definitely a good one to start following.

If you're interested in surgical residency at all, or just academic medicine. Check out the Rocky Mountain Surgery podcast.
 
My current faves: the Read (pop culture) & A Killing on the Cape (murder mystery).
IDK where I've been the past many years but I recently discovered podcasts and they are a true game changer.

The Curbsiders. Great internal medicine podcast I started listening to during my intern year. Very engaging and valuable for anyone M1 and beyond.
