A few of my favorite podcast episodes for July. Sadly, there were no new episodes for my new favorite podcast, Gimlet Media's Mystery Show. Also waiting for NPR's Invisibilia to start back up sometime soon. In the meantime, please keep sending me any podcast recommendations!

Check out my prior recommendations HERE.

Radiolab: Eye in the Sky
How much privacy would you be willing to trade for lower crime rates? Persistent Surveillance takes continuous aerial photos of cities, which allows the operator to look back and forward through time (until live/real-time, of course) in a very Minority Report-esque way to solve crimes... but at what cost?

The James Altucher Show: Episode #144 - Matt Barrie: How To Get Paid Doing What You Love
How anyone can start businesses using freelancers around the world. Great story about a guy who created a business around inflatable pool swans and flamingos.

Re/code Decode with Kara Swisher: Andreessen Horowitz's Chris Dixon, Windows 10, and hacking cars
 The famous Kara Swisher who always seems to have the best insider view of all Silicon Valley gossip and breaking news now hosts a podcast for Re/code. Great episode with Chris Dixon from a16z.

99% Invisible: Episode 83 - Heyoon
Alex Goldman, the now host of Gimlet Media's Reply All (another one of my favorite podcasts), tells the story about a secret structure in Michigan. This is an older episode back from July 2013 but it's a great one. I checked Google Maps and unfortunately it seems the structure no longer exists.

The Tim Ferriss Show: How a Computer Hacker Optimizes Online Dating, Opens Locked Cars, and Hijacks Drones
Samy Kamkar is a well known hacker and whisleblower. His stories and advice in how to "hack" online dating are hilarious but also make a lot of sense. Someone I'd love to meet one day.
