My recommendations:
Never heard of "The Art of Product" - I'll subscribe. Thanks :-D
I would add https://stackingthebricks.com/podcast/ by Amy Hoy and Alex Hillman
I don't make time for podcasts, so the only two I listen to are:
REWORK is from the guys at Basecamp. The topics aren't always about tech startups, which I find incredibly refreshing. Has you thinking outside of the tech bubble.
You'll find yourself learning from across the board, like how to market byproducts, from a guy running a wood chipping plant.
I have the exact opposite problem, too many podcasts, not enough commute :)
Here's a list of what I follow, in the marketing/startup genre:
I ordered the podcasts by those I listen to the most, so the ones in the bottom of the list I haven't listened to in a while, but just listen to a couple episodes to see if they're a good fit for you
Have you started to increase your playback speed? When I first tried it it sounded terrible, but if you start at 1.5x then go to 2x you get used to it. Now I can't listen unless it's 2x speed.
I listen at around 1.1x with Smart Speed on Overcast, might need to try going higher than that
I listen on the max speed on Overcast with the smart speed on. Most podcasts I can keep up with, but there are a couple that don't focus on their diction as well so I have to lower it to 2x using the custom setting for those
Great point. Overcast's Smart Speed feature saves a ton of time by trimming out the silence too.
A friend of mine uses that... I haven't tried it yet though.
Does it make a noticeable difference to listening ability (obviously cuts down time).
Nope, it's so smooth it's hard to even tell a difference.
Awesome - I try to stay away from VC type podcasts, because they tend to make me start to think too big. I've not listened to "Startups for the rest of us" or "Everyone Hates Marketers" yet, so I'll subscribe. Thanks!
"Not enough commute" is a great problem to have.
Edit: Really like "The Top"
Seth, you referencing my show? If not, curious what other startup focused show is named The Top!
Yeah, sorry. "The Top" is what I was referencing. Really like your format and the no bullshit approach to getting the answers from founders.
Glad I build BotList with 100% transparency, so I never have to worry about getting grilled from you. ;)

Hey Ramy, did you listened to all IH podcast episodes already?
Because there is gold in every one of them, even the "old" ones.
Every single one. I commute ~7 hours a week, so it's enough time to get through a decent amount of podcasts.
Nobody's mentioned rogue startups, which I find great as they just talk about their day to day struggles. I also used to LOVE "Giant robots fighting other giant robots". I think it was episode 78 onwards, just follows Ben orenstein and another guy as the manage two products. Lot of really interesting insight into what they do and why. Unfortunately Ben has moved on now to the "art of product" podcast, and he's launching into elearninf with a course on refactoring rails, which isn't my stack at all so he's lost me a tad.
Based on how many people love podcasts, has anyone created the GoodReads of podcasts?
Inspired by a similar HN thread just compiled a collection of my favorite stuff:

adding to the great lists already here & I hope I don't repeat anybody's suggestions...in no particular order...
ok, so I go for a lot of walks. :)
Honestly, I love IndieHackers podcast and the way Courtland asks great follow-up questions. Besides that Tim Ferris show.
Wow. I didn't even know Indiehackers had a podcast.
Right on, I'll have to check that out.
The Pitch sounds fascinating.
My one that I listen to is Revisionist History by Malcolm Gladwell.
Though, it's off air right now - it's seasonal, and I'm in a show hole, so I'll look into these suggestions.
Cheers!
I like http://reboot.io
It's basically a therapy session to help founders get past an issue they're struggling with. I found it through an episode of gimlet media's 'Startup'

The seanwes podcast has always been a major source of inspiration for me. Highly recommended.
Thanks for all the recommendations! I've subscribed to a good few more podcasts and have enjoyed listening to a few already. "Startups For The Rest Of Us" seems particularly great.
I commute quite a bit too. Like most here, I listen to :
I also listen to (unrelated but interesting)
Check this one out, content is similar to Indie Hackers and also from founders such as Intercom founder: https://drt.fm/
Tim Ferris show.
Side hustle show
Front end happy hour
Kevin Rose show
And of course indie hackers
Not all of these are strictly startups, but still good:
