Inspired by the recent HN thread, I’ve decided to share a collection of my favorite audiobooks and podcasts that I think HN readers will love. This is the best stuff I have discovered over the past 3–4 years, and I’m sure you guys will enjoy each of these books, so if you haven’t read some of them yet — I highly recommend you to check them out.
