3. The Art Of Manliness
This is the true gentleman’s guide for learning all of the tricks and trades that being a cool guy is known for. If you’ve ever wanted to learn to whistle with your fingers, then you get the idea of what to expect from arguably one of the manliest podcasts out there.

4. The Bill Simmons Podcast
Sometimes we need a break from reality, and if you’re a fan of the NBA and fantasy football, you’ll probably dig this podcast as it provides you with all of the analysis on the NBA playoffs, trade rumors for the draft, and the hot picks for the upcoming season.
You can also find interviews with celebrities and several topics that have nothing to do with Sports. However, for the fantasy draft junkie who wants to feel like they are managing their team, this podcast has some of the best insights out there.
5. Freakonomics Radio
If you’ve never read Freakonomics, you’re missing out on a wonderfully interesting book on economics that is explored unusually. This podcast is for the guy that wants to learn about economics and money but in an almost irreverent way.
Expect to learn how you can spend your money in the stupidest ways, whether economic growth is the wrong goal, and how drug dealers go about doing the banking.
With episodes being under 30 minutes, this is a great escape on a lunch break or a jog outside.
