"The Riff" with Byrne Hobart and Erik Torenberg

Listen to most of them on the network, but this is the only one I try to catch every episode of. Hobart is one of the sharpest podcast hosts I’ve heard, worthy of listening to at regular speed because he packs a lot of thought into a few words. Consider starting your own show, Byrne. I’d surely listen to it, and there’s a dearth of technical podcasts where the host can keep up with the guests.

Mr. Hobart is knowledgeable on an amazingly wide range of topics.

I love the substance of this show. Byrne and Erik are so smart and interesting, and the topics they explore are unique. But I so wish they would improve the audio quality. It’s especially bad on Byrne’s end. When he talks fast, which is a lot, he tends to mumble and the volume on his voice goes lower. It’s hard to hear and understand what he’s saying unless you’re on complete noise cancellation.
