What to look for
Skep's Value Score penalises exactly what this genre is full of — hype with no substance behind it — so the episodes here lean towards people describing what they actually did rather than telling you to want it more.

Every other list answers this question with podcasts to subscribe to — a back catalogue you now have to search yourself. Skepmatches on what each episode actually covers, so the single best hour for this can come from a show you'd never follow, sitting next to one you already know.
