🎙️ 2025 Podcast Favorites

Brief

The Idea Farm’s 2025 podcast favorites newsletter is a curated list of audience hits from The Meb Faber Show rather than a substantive article. Published on January 29, 2026, it notes that the show released more than 50 episodes in 2025 and that the firm recommended over 150 podcasts in its weekly emails. The 10 most-listened-to episodes skew heavily toward macroeconomics, portfolio strategy, and investing, with guests from major asset managers such as KKR, BlackRock, Vanguard, and Goldman Sachs, alongside independent commentators like Bob Elliott, Morgan Housel, Barry Ritholtz, and Rob Arnott. Several titles touch themes adjacent to AI and structural economic change—such as Joe Davis on AI versus the national debt and Arnott/Harvey on passive investing risks and the AI boom—but the newsletter offers only episode titles and links, not methodological detail, key arguments, or original synthesis. It also includes a 20-episode Spotify playlist of favorites from the year.
