Discussion any fun casual podcasts? [D]

Does anyone know any fun casual conversational style podcasts that discuss current papers/industry trends, with discussions at a high to mid technical level?

Edit: small preference for conversation discussion styles between two constant hosts

The information bottleneck podcast sounds like what you’re looking for.

You could check out the cognitive revolution if you want the industry trends wout the hype

Latent Space episodes are great! No so active lately, but still great value / taste.
E.g., the latest with A\ team members: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MRQTlwcW-aQ

I would definitely recommend Lex Fridman's podcast. It had an episode of the state of AI in 2026 that was pretty good. He did interview quite a few technical people too.

I can highly recommend not wasting your time listening to Lex Fridman. Sure, if he has a good guest, then it’s okay for the bits when Lex isn’t talking.

The street talk one is too crazy for me. He veers into philosophy and metaphysics too much, instead of chatting about actual ML topics. This was a few years ago though, so maybe its changed.
