I was wondering whether someone would bring up the Minimalists. They were great for the first 160-170 podcast episodes. After a certain point you will see that the average episode dropped from 2h to 35mins, and most of the 35mins are pushing to their Patreon paid podcast.
They added immense value in my life, but after a certain point they live to advertise their own services. They keep saying that "advertisements suck", well, this has been their game for a few months now.
Back to the topic of minimalism, we tend to ignore some aspects of our lives. Consuming, owning senselessly makes things worse every day even if/when we don't realise it. I would suggest that you pick a random episode of the minmalists (between 1-160) and if you like what you hear download and go through the first 160 episodes.

For a minimalist podcast, it doesn't seems minimalist at all to have 2h podcast ;).
