After 10,000+ minutes of listening, these three podcasts dominated my 2025
1. Teen Taal: The ultimate Hindi comedy podcast. Hosted by Tau, Sardar, and Khan Cha, it’s pure “therapeutic bullshit.” Imagine the funniest, most nonsensical conversation with your friends.
I was skeptical at first, but one episode in late 2024 made me a devotee. I didn’t miss a single one. It was my ultimate driving podcast for most of the year and is, hands down, the best Hindi podcast I’ve ever heard.
2. Acquired: A business storytelling masterpiece. Hosts Ben Gilbert and David Rosenthal deliver incredibly researched deep-dives into companies. The way they research and tell the stories of iconic companies is next-level. My daily commute soundtrack since September.
3. Future IQ: Hosted by Navin and Shrikant. I finally started listening seriously in December, and it immediately became my essential morning podcast for sharp, forward-thinking insights.
My New Rhythm: Morning chai with Future IQ, commutes with Acquired, Saturdays with Teen Taal. This powerful trio even dethroned The Tim Ferriss Show as my all-time favorites.
Do you have any recommendations for me in 2026?
