Five AI Podcasts That Deliver the Reasoning, Not Just the Headlines

Hello everyone, I'm Feiyu.

In the AI era, information sources are crucial — they determine the ceiling of your cognition.

I think the biggest difference between podcasts and short videos is that podcasts give you the derivation process, not just the conclusion. This density of information is something fragmented content cannot provide.

But good sources won't actively seek you out. Those who find them will definitely have their cognition running ahead of everyone else.

Today I'll recommend a few high-quality AI podcasts that I think are excellent.

First: Lenny Podcast

If you're a product manager, entrepreneur, or interested in the underlying logic of the tech industry, I suggest this podcast is a must-listen.

The host has also distilled 300 episodes of long-form audio content into official Skills. Those interested can check it out.

Second: WhyNotTV

This podcast's content is very hardcore, long and highly professional.

Each episode is 2 to 4 hours, and the guest speakers are all frontline AI practitioners.

The highlight of this podcast isn't just the guests, but He Tairan's questioning ability. Only someone who has truly done research can ask the kind of questions he does.

He once said that in the AI era, what we need is no longer a large amount of knowledge, but a good question.

Sometimes, once the question is asked, the answer already emerges.

Third: Zhang Xiaojun Talks Business

This show is of great quality, explaining profound things in simple terms. Even beginners can understand it. The guest speakers cover a wide range — frontline entrepreneurs from Silicon Valley have all been on.

It's also very popular on YouTube.

The full text transcript of each episode is published on Zhang Xiaojun's personal WeChat public account and Tencent Technology's official public account. If you're not used to listening to podcasts, you can go directly to read the transcripts.

Fourth: Crossing the Intersection

The host has long followed the AI entrepreneurship ecosystem.

With over 240,000 followers across platforms, it is currently one of the most influential AI podcasts in China.

Its core mission is to seek out and interview every AI entrepreneur, exploring new possibilities in the AI era.

The questioning style on the show is also very comfortable — never interrupting guests, and the questions are well-posed.

One episode: "Whose Golden Age Is the AI Era?"

It mentions that there are two types of leverage in the world that don't require permission: code and self-media. It's very suitable for non-technical friends who want to learn AI from scratch.

Fifth: Cross-Border Drop-In Plan

The host is an AI product manager who uses AI to translate top overseas English podcasts into Chinese, while preserving each guest's original voice timbre. It sounds like you're listening in Chinese.

But the information content is the same as the original. It's completely free — essentially a labor of love.

If you want to access first-hand, high-quality overseas information but your English isn't at that level yet, or you can't access the foreign internet, then this podcast is the best channel.

These 5 podcasts are recommended to everyone. I hope we can all see a little further!
